a deck I created early 2009 to summarize some of the work we'd done on ThinkPlace: case study of transforming a conventional application at IBM into social software. It was a fascinating journey to embed "social" features into an enterprise app during 2008-09 and looking back, we were still very ahead of the curve back then.
