SocialText - Eugene Lee


SocialText

The CEO of SocialText (ST), Eugene Lee, made a great presentation about Web 2.0 technology in general, the company and products that he now represents – the collaborative Web 2.0 site SocialText.com. The products are named Socialtext People, (ST) Dashboard and (ST) Workspace.

ST is a very interesting company that poses itself as a central station online for companies that want to use secure Web 2.0 tools like wikis, blogs, social networking, widget dashboards, and others. It was an impressive presentation for it is undeniable the passion that he feels for the company, products and technology that he now showcase. Also impressive was his curriculum vitae. He has been working in the field, if I remember his presentation correctly, for decades now. He was one of the vice-president of Adobe, Inc.

By the way, he is one example of the excellent speakers that we have had in our class this semester. It is great that we have speakers coming in, or connecting with us via web conferencing, to give speeches to our class because we get reports about how technology is being used out there in the real world.
