IBM Watson Research Centre undertake research in collaboration and collaborative tools (mainly under the Lotus brand). IBM have been working on a project, affectionately entitled ‘Dogear‘ (as in the somewhat destructive practice of folding over pages in books ), which is basically [pauses for a moment to check whether IBM lawyers are around, mindful of the fact that a lot of devlopment effort has been expended on this] del.icio.us for the Enterprise. Obviously this is a masterstroke of understatement in terms of the effort that has gone in to the project, so bear with me whilst I run through what they’ve done in a more positive analysis :)

For those with an ACM login, you can read an article in Queue, and Watson Research Centre Research Papers are here for those who are academically inclined.
