: What other text or Web-based collaboration tools do you think have potential to improve the virtual meeting experience, either through direct integration or by being used in concert?

: We've always seen the addition of blogs, wikis, and other social applications as being a valuable asset to people working within virtual environments. That's why we added those kinds of tools to ProtoSphere from the very beginning. The feedback we've received from customers is that social networking tools such as these enhance the user experience and level of engagement inside a virtual environment like ProtoSphere. They allow for a level of persistence and continuous exchange of knowledge within the space .... For example, if a series of events held in the environment are centered around a particular topic, users are able to share their own relevant knowledge with each other in a persistent way, that goes beyond those time bound events. ProtoSphere is becoming a convergent space, that securely links both behind the firewall enterprise applications, and internet applications that offer the enterprise user additional functionality.
