Cisco-Web Ex Analysis

We just published our Impact Analysis on the Cisco-WebEx announcement (free site registration required). I've also published a piece on Collaboration Loop as well covering the collaboration and social-computing aspects of the deal.

BTW, I also published a piece a few weeks ago on Collaboration Loop entitled "IM 2.0", it covers some of the trends as IM evolves to be more than just a text messaging service. I'll be moderating a panel on the same topic at the upcoming Enterprise 2.0 event this June in Boston.
