The Wall Street Journal has an informative piece on Microsoft's Sharepoint collaborative software product: Microsoft Embeds Sleeper in Business Software. Here's the summary from the online version. The shocker is that there are 85 million Sharepoint licenses in the world spread among 17,000 companies. Robert Berkman at Information Advisor has made this month's Knowledge Management supplement available for free. It's called Social Bookmarking as a Knowledge Management Strategy. Finally, there's an MIT Sloan Management Review Special Report called The Future of the Web which contains a great piece titled Beyond Enterprise 2.0.
COLLABORATION SOFTWARE

The Situation:
Over the past few years, Microsoft has quietly established itself in
the emerging market for collaboration software with a product called
SharePoint.
Why It Matters:
Collaboration software -- which allows workers to share and work
together -- is a new strategic foothold for technology makers trying to
gain a broader hold on corporate customers.
What's Next:
Expect a fierce fight among technology giants -- Microsoft, Oracle,
IBM, Adobe and others -- as each tries to become the central player in
collaboration.
