After a little trouble getting let into the IBM Bluehouse collaborative networking capability I attended a conference call with other beta explorers. About 60 people attended, it appeared they were mostly IBMers. I was impressed overall. They led us through the process of using Bluehouse for extended meetings and sharing documents and screens. Well thought-out with capabilities of other web based project management systems, but not too many to make it confusing. That is important, since many users will have only casual interaction. IBM has made it fairly easy to invite external people to meetings, a key capability. Explicitly cloud oriented. There were a number of glitches found by folks, to be expected for a Beta. Will continue to attend these meetings as I explore. I was able to pick up the basics in an hour or so. This will not be free forever, IBM plans to charge a monthly fee after beta.
