Looks similar in concept to TrackBack and kmPings (you guys will correct me if I'm wrong), but based on specific referral pages. I'd sure like to see someone do a write up on just what all these things do, and how they relate/interact with each other.

Linkback Referrers.
I spotted Stephen Downes Referral System via www.davidwatson.org.
Very cool little script. I have added it to my templates here on high context. It will display the referrers to each individual page. So if you link to anything on this site your page will be listed on the sidebar as people follow the link.
One small bug I've discovered with Mozilla is that a local referral within the same site creates an unexpected value for document.location in the javascript code. No problems in IE so it must just be Mozilla.

Gaining Parity with e-Mail

11:30:48 AM

This posting from Jon Udell on collaboration technologies that have caught the eye of Esther Dyson. I note among them is Parity -- a venture I believe is being headed by graphic arts visionary Paul Trevithick. Seems Paul is, as usual, on the leading edge and drawing attention from some big names.

What if being non-communicative weren't an option?
This Fortune article on Esther Dyson was cited on a private mailing list. It's interesting to see where she is placing bets:
A big challenge for managers will be encouraging employees to share information instead of hoarding it. Dyson has made investments in several companies that help employees communicate with one another continuously and effectively, especially by e-mail. One, called Tacit Knowledge Systems, has software that (with user permission) reads and categorizes e-mail sent within an organization. Anyone needing information about a topic can turn to Tacit to find an expert and forward a request to get in touch. Another company, Parity, has a so-called "commitment-management tool" that lets the sender specify the action an e-mail requires. The software helps the recipient meet deadlines--like responding to a customer by tomorrow afternoon.
I think I can see the handwriting on the wall. Groupware has failed forever because people by and large don't want to communicate continuously and effectively. Opting out of that flow may cease to be an option. If so, jumping on the weblog bandwagon for internal corporate communication looks like the offense that is the best defense. If your flow is a corporate asset that's going to be managed anyway, wouldn't you rather control it yourself?
