Martin Böhringer from #ubimic introduced me to Marcelo Pham who is the CEO from Akibot.
Akibot is the first semantic actionable micro-blogging platform for the enterprise. Akibot not only allows real-time group collaboration and awareness through short, instant messages (like a Twitter for the company), but it also understands those messages and, if applicable, takes action. A good description is provided by a ReadWriteWeb blog ( http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/akibot_an_enterprise_twitter_clone_infused_with_ai.php ). What intrigued me about akibot was the semantic analysis of microblogging messages. The basic idea is that akibot functionality can complement existing ESME functionality. We (the ESME community) aren't able to do everything. We should look for partners who will work with us to further establish microblogging in the enterprise. I've started a wiki page to describe the collaboration ( http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ESME/Collaboration%20with%20Akibot ) and would appreciate any thoughts on this new collaboration D.
