Shimon Rura is developing a blogging tool, Frassle, with some interesting features. I meet Shimon at the Thursday Berkman blog meetings and he has given me some very useful technical advice on several occasions. Jessica Baumgart, who also attends the Berkman meetings, provides a review of its possible use on an intranet. She comments:
“I can definitely see the value of having Frassle on an intranet. With many of its current features, like threaded comments and linking related posts, it can contribute to collaborative environments. Its fantastic system for hierarchical, customizable categories allows for organized knowledge management and, theoretically, easy retrieval. The built-in search engine helps a lot, too. The aggregator component is something many other blog systems don't offer. The ability to categorize incoming feeds is quite unique and adds to Frassle's superiority as a system to store and retrieve a variety of blog posts. The Frassle publisher, a component he released recently, makes Frassle even more powerful.”
And then she provides strengths and current limitations. I would recommend seeing the rest of her review and checking out Frassle directly.
