During that first trip, Matt and I sketched an idea about how weblogs are influencing people while they work.

This essay is where we got from that idea.

I think it's interesting not only to explain how weblogs influence thinking and working within a company but also in the general blogosphere.

Almost exactly one year ago Matt came visiting us from London. It was another cheap RyanAir flight.

During that first meeting we envisioned a new kind of knowledge management application built using Topics (he had just released LiveTopics), an RSS aggregator and our content management system, IdeaTools.

One year later we are proud to officially announce K-Collector 1.0.

Even if we got to this point later than we were expecting (as we were expecting ;-), I'm very happy about our new product and very proud of my partners in this project: Simone Bettini and Matt Mower.

Here's a picture of us last June at BlogTalk.



There are many other people who helped or supported us during this year. We tried to list them all on a page in the application, and we are planning to add more.

Now that we have made this announcement, we are ready to take orders. If you don't feel like ordering yet, we'd be delighted to show you a demo. Write to k-collector@evectors.com to arrange one.
