If the last decade of the information technology wave was focused on creating a global information web, then the ten years will be about refining this endless information sea into a usable, reliable knowledge web.

Socialtext, an enterprise social software company, launched its first set of products today that help teams collaborate and communicate more effectively. As Joi Ito mentioned in a recent Fortune article, "I need to get fewer requests from higher-quality sources."

Disclosure: I have been on Socialtext's Board of Advisors since it's inception. Having started software companies myself, I am amazed at the insight and execution capabilities of this very dedicated team. Congratulations!
