Puneet Gupta, CEO of ConnectBeam discusses his social bookmarking network appliance.
This is a pretty cool thing. Robert Scoble from Podtech has been discussing this idea as something called Starfish, where a persons contributions to blogs, wiki entries, Facebook, Twitter, etc, can be aggregated in a way that puts the content and search in context to the author.
ConnectBeam has created something similar in a turnkey appliance, allowing the users to bookmark, tag and attribute the source author as a tag, so you have a LinkedIn like connection between the content and the contributor.
From an enterprise perspective, this seems pretty handy and a simple way to add social media tools to your business. Because it uses bookmarkng and tagging, it's not necessary to integrate search across your systems, as long asyou get bookmarking adoption. Also you get to see how employees are contributing to content.
Check out ConnectBeam.

hmmm... a video learning room. Like a Feedroom Channel for social media tools.. As Hilliker says... STELLAR!
Thanks for the kind words. IDF was amazing... so much I couldn't get to. I'm enjoying your Technology@Intel tumblr as a way to catch-up.
Back at you for the inspiration!

cool, couple times I've heard about another kind of social bookmarking - like bookmarking the videos and images. That would be great to share not pages but some kind of screenshots. Anyway idea of agregating (I mean connecting different social networks) is great.

Is this actually a working thing, or is it an idea?

This Knowlegde Management-tool really looks promising. Not only for large corporations, but for SME's as well. An interesting tool!
Yeah, baby! This is sweet! Wouldn't it be great to have a social media sandbox where we could test out the tools. Or event better, lets collect videos from some social media and Office 2.0 companies and create a video learning room. This might even be better than setting up a test account for every new tool. Rock on, Bob! Great energy at IDF. Lots of new ideas -- a new layer unfolds at every turn. Thanks for the inspiration.
