According to IBM, CoScripter is a system for capturing, sharing, and automating tasks on the Web. CoScripter scripts contain human-readable instructions for completing Web-based processes, such as changing your mailing address or searching for real estate. If the CoScripter plug-in for Firefox is installed, CoScripter can step through scripts with you, showing you how to perform the task, step by step. CoScripter can also run scripts automatically, eliminating repetitive or mundane tasks for the user. My understanding of this is that with this tools, user can program "activity" in machine readable format that can be shared for re-use by others and "could be mashed up ( correct? )" with other widgets to enable "activity" become a kind of UI to business process management system. I need someone from IBM to correct my comment here, but you can read KOALA paper here http://people.mozilla.com/~faaborg/files/20070509-CHI2007/p943.pdf Bill, a bit different subject but may be of your interests from activity management perspective is CoScripor (fromerly KOALA) that was released latety on Alphaworks from IBM.

They are more of a developer short cut. However, by easing the developer's burden, more time can be spent on user requirements and thus putting the user in the center. They also allow for business units to more easily develop their own applications. Bill Todd – I agree that mashups do not directly put the user in the center. They are more of a developer short cut.

Great stuff from IBM (Damia as Enterprise Pipes! ?) and Kapow (I actually have a few robots myself) -- see Dappit.com too. But are these technologies really getting the user involved or the just more developer offerings. Perhaps sprinkling in some "semantic glue" would help ease the user experience around assembly and don't forget the resulting feeds need a place to live as results for the user (and they may not want to do another easy integration step into something like QED). As a shameless plug we are trying to do a bit of this ourselves. But there is no doubt that IBM, Kapow and others are changing the conversation around information access and availability and that fits the remainder of Enterprise 2.0 landscape nicely. Let us not forget, that even with the new tools of collaboration a lot of this new blog, wiki and media content will need to be mixed to truly support operational objectives, no?

Here is another good demo of a high-value enterprise mashup.

My reference to Info 2.0 as a variation of Enterprise 2.0 was certainly a complement. Your additions help clarfiy its role within Enterprise 2.0, as well as applications outside the enterprise. Increased transparency and access to information is a key feature of Enterprise 2.0. I will certainly take a look at your blog. Lauren – Thanks for your comment.

Just to clarify, Info 2.0 is a piece of Web 2.0. Specifically, Info 2.0 is the information management technology for simplified integration of data and content via mashups. It connects information from custom and packaged business apps, web, spreadsheets, and databases, making information access easier for users. In addition, it doesn't replace but rather extends current IT investments. The real differentiation here is how both structured and unstructured data is accessed, cleansed, etc and then used within mashups to deliver Web 2.0 apps. Anant Jhingran, CTO of IM at IBM, describes Info 2.0 as "access to information" that we formerly couldn't get our hands on - http://jhingran.typepad.com/anant_jhingrans_musings/2007/08/mashup-space.html You can check out my blog for more info too: www.jroller.com/cooney Cheers, Lauren Cooney CTO Office IBM Information Management Group Hi Bill,
