Make-up Blog (Social Text/Eugene Lee)

I forgot to reflect on Eugene Lee's presentation, so here goes:

I'm happy that Eugene allowed us to have free accounts on SocialText - great way for us to see what he was preaching about. I think Social Text is good - a bit difficult to get around in, but design-wise it's clean and to-the-point. As for his presentation, I enjoyed hearing about his background as well as his experiences in the corporate world. What I took from it was that the corporate world is diving deep into web2.0 land and folks are providing solutions for them (such as SocialText). The open-source community really pioneered wikis, blogging, and other tools that are ubiquitous in the corporate and commercial worlds nowadays.
