FYI - How to SEO sharepoint

Quoted: MOSS SEO - SharePoint 2007 running in CMS mode is the perfect opportunity for true Search Engine Optimization. All the necessary components are in place to achieve top search engine rankings. The essence of this site is to share MOSS techniques for implementing sound SEO.

newsgator has a SharePoint extension called Social Sites, that creates a personal profile, recommends friends and feeds via common interests and tags, and also uses Social Bookmarking to bring in content from outside the sharepoint site.

Quoted: It shows how to extend the Windows SharePoint Service (WSS) or MOSS site to be a social tagging or bookmarking portal for the Enterprise. The site will leverage enterprise resource and knowledge.

Quoted: Nine companies are saying "yes," having recently launched Enterprise 2.0 offerings that integrate with SharePoint technology.

Yesterday, Connectbeam announced their new Spotlight Connect for SharePoint, a bookmarking and tagging add-on module for their enterprise social search-and-discovery application that brings social content, collaboration, and bookmarking tools into SharePoint via a special add-on module available this July.

RescueTime gets TechCrunch coverage using aggregate data they've collected (proving they not only have a great application, but are masters of developing content with high link-bait).

I've personally worked on products that account for 22% of total desktop usage (Outlook, Excel, Messenger). I wonder if the other product I co-founded (SharePoint) would also make the chart if RescueTime could recognize the various URL's as all being SharePoint web sites).

Great commentary on the Microsoft Plan to lock in IT using sharepoint. It is so true it is scary. Being stuck using the brain dead Sharepoint 2003 makes it even scarier!

This site is the original Wiki. After I retired from Microsoft, I posted this link to Wiki's and the development of SharePoint. Now, we have come full circle, where Google's new Wiki project is claiming to be a "Sharepoint Killer".

The "Team Collaboration" category will continue to have many variations and spin-offs. I find it interesting that, on the internet, we have a very rich ecology of competing products across many categories. Compare to the relatively stagnant competition for desktop application software, where 90%+ of the market is held by the category leaders.

It may come to pass on the Internet eventually as well, but with the barriers to entry so slow, the competitive landscape may remain quite rich.

Quoted: SharePoint is, in some ways, a descendant of WikiWikiWeb. I think it was in 1995 (maybe 96), that I found WikiWikiWeb and was fascinated by the potential to have a Web-editing interface using a Web browser. I created a simple CGI program of my own, which I called QuickWeb. I was the Microsoft Outlook development manager at the time, and I created a QuickWeb Web site internally, that we could use in the development group. We ended up using it for status information, updating info about the current day's build, etc.
...
When I was ready to move on from the Outlook team, I set off to create something more extensive, as an extension of the QuickWeb idea. I wanted to incorporate something with a richer data model; something with a real database behind it rather than as a collection of flat Web pages. I worked on my own for a couple of months, creating a prototype of what I called "TeamPages?".
...
In order to make this a real Microsoft Product, I focused on integration with both Front Page and other Office applications, realizing that in order to be a success, TeamPages? would have to be a great way for teams to share their Office documents, as well as be an add-on to the standard Front Page Web editing tools.
...
Eventually, my small team merged with the Front Page and OfficeWebServer? teams, and we became the SharePoint Team Services team. Our first product shipped with Office XP. Internally, at Microsoft, SharePoint has become a huge success. There are many thousands of internal team and project Web sites that have been created with SharePoint. It has all but entirely replaced the dumb File Share, as the de facto center of group collaboration.

Quoted: I got email from Philip Edney with a hint that how you can install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Tools: Visual Studio 2005 Extensions (VSeWSS) for none-Windows 2003 server OS. Of course since that's not supported you'll have to do small registry hack
