The first one in line is Stuart Henshall, founder and editor of the excellent Skype Journal, as well as CEO of a new company called Mosoci, made up of consultants with deep knowledge of mobility, social media and related needs and applications.
In this good conversation we talk about "presence", privacy issues, new modes of online collaboration, instant messaging, contextual collaboration, how to overcome IT departments resistance to the adoption of a new generation of sharing and collaboration tools, video conferencing, and more.
Together, we explore new application and uses, interesting new features, the design of interfaces for real-time collaboration tools, open-source, open standards.
Last but not least we look at what those who build these new technologies need to be paying attention to if they want to be successful at all in this new fascinating space.
