PeerAware Group Chat - Enterprise knowledge software

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

Enterprise knowledge software is the new phrase used to describe PeerAware. Initially this started out as “Desktop to desktop search” a few years back, but this did not mean anything to most people. And the advantage of being able to search across a network of connected computers and find documents based on content was interesting, but in reality just a technicality that most users just took for granted. This is fine, in reality it is all we could hope for. But it did not lead new users to try the program, almost no-one finds PeerAware through search engines, most people download the program through word of mouth, and simply because there are a few established knowledge networks running based on PeerAware. But I do want a name that sort of says something about what the program does, and recently arrived at the conclusion that the group chat functionality was what most users appreciated and used the most. That made me change the name to “PeerAware - Group chat”. But a month later I felt like this was oversimplifying things, and a new name was chosen: “PeerAware Group Chat - Enterprise knowledge software”, which should lead people into an understanding of what it can be used for. And with 1.04 out the door the new name is public.

Hope you like it,

Jonny
