I.B.M. Releases Bluehouse for Collaboration - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com "I.B.M. walked me through an early demonstration of the Bluehouse software, and it seemed to work well. An online meeting started quickly without requiring any software downloads onto my laptop, and I was able to watch as an I.B.M. engineer moved between various projects, sharing a wide range of documents and presentations with different groups of contacts based on their permission settings to see such files."

IBM's House In The Clouds "Blue House will also try to reassure businesses of the security of their information by offering companies precise controls over which participants they let at the data. IBM says it will let its customers audit the service's data storage to make sure no information inadvertently slips through those safeguards to the wrong third parties. Because the services will eventually be based on paid subscriptions–not advertising, as in the case of other Web applications like Google's–IBM is also telling users that it won't sift through customers' data to learn about them."
IBM bundles up cloud initiatives "The company said that Bluehouse would combine social networking and online collaboration tools to help organizations to share documents, contacts, engage in joint project activities, host online meetings, and build social networking communities through a Web browser."
