Here is a quick question for you: One of the first things that struck me is that the name of the product is "Knowledge Networks." You may recall that Microsoft's social networking in the enterprise software from a couple years ago was called "Knowledge Network" (<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/kn/)." target="_blank">http://blogs.msdn.com/kn/).</a> That codebase is/has apparently been plowed into SharePoint 14. Am I missing something? Are the two related? Should PersonAll be preparing for a lawsuit? Hi Jon, thanks for the post.
