Zeemo

April 21st, 2005

I was talking on the phone this afternoon with a prospective author for an Internet Spotlight column (keep those ideas coming) and the subject of virtual reference came up. I kinda “poo-pooed” the idea as one that has been written to death (I think we need to beyond just “virtual reference” - take a look at the stuff Michael Stephens and Aaron Schmidt have been writing about - they’re taking it the next level). The author then started talking about Jybe and other software that can be used in reference transactions and my interest was piqued.

This evening, del.icio.us led me to Zeemo, which has two products out. The first one is a news aggregator and the second is a live forum/searching tool. The forum tool reminded me of my earlier conversation and looks very useful:

“Zeemo is a system (client server based) that will let you find information, chat with other users and share your files. The overall benefit of Zeemo is, that it makes it easier to find and retrieve information and simplifies communication with other users”

Take a look at the screenshot page. Is anyone familiar with Zeemo? I think I’m going to try it out at the office tomorrow with some co-workers and see how well it works.
