this talk is about a cool new tool. Their goal is to have a product that is as fast as notepad, that updates immediately across the network, that holds all "truth" about a project with multiple ways of distilling and viewing the data, and that keeps all conversations about the project attached to the actual tasks in the project.
I like how it is very notepad-like in updating and changing things. Every task has a chat attached to it, where people can "follow" the task and be emailed when a note about it updates. Responding to the email also updates the task chat, like in google groups. It is easy to move assignments around to people. When a task is finished, all the followers are notified.
Very social-appified, which makes sense because they came from Google then Facebook.
This tool could really help us with our team meetings and coordination, much better than Google sites. It looks like they also built in ways to collaborate your software and components with other developers, so you can use your social networking to get tools, information and help you need to progress as a company. Their goal is to have "business to business virality".
They also developed an in-house web app programming language to speed the design and deployment of that kind of software, called "lunascript".
I applied to see if our team can beta-test their product.
