Dandelife Potential
Lifehacker highlights a cool web app called Dandelife, which allows users to create timelines of their life linked to textual posts, YouTube videos and Flickr photos. While I agree with Lifehacker that this seems like a very personal application, I can see several other possibilities for this technology. A company could create an interactive, organic "company history" page. It could be used to create a nice project case study, with links and tags to suporting material and images. My guess is creative minds will find all sorts of ways to use this application.

Social Media in the Organziation
A while back Shel Holtz posted a nice series on how organizations are using social media internally. I really like the idea put forth by Niall Cook in Part IV of the series on using del.icio.us to share market intelligence and news stories. As a firm of 75, we constantly struggle with how to share the enormous amount of information that is digested by employees at the individual level. If people will learn to use this tool, I could see it greatly improving the knowledge sharing within our firm.
