HiveLive launches enterprise community platform
HiveLive has joined the growing number of companies focused on delivering social software, or a community platform with wikis, blogs, and forums, to enterprises. HiveLive calls itself as “the first community platform to seamlessly integrate social networks with information networks." It's not clear what the phrase means, but the foundation of the hosted service is a Hive, which integrates people, information, and permissions. HiveLive takes a different approach than most products in the social software space, which have pre-set templates for wikis, blogs, and forums. HiveLive users can assemble collaborative applications with a simple, Web-based interface. "Community is what's next in CRM," said HiveLive CEO John Kembel. Company sponsored online communities can help with lead generation, loyalty, retention, market intelligence and customer support in a non-standard social way, by word of mouth, participation in a community, crowd sourcing ideas and peer-to-peer support, he explained.
Address book problem can be solved by templates
Softwrap digital marketing and distribution system will take a lot of trial and error to fix correctly.
Q: I am running a Windows XP Home edition on my Dell computer. How do I set up an address book for letters and labels in the MS Word 2000 program? When I click on the address book icon, it tells me to "log on to Microsoft exchange." When I did that, it leads me nowhere. I have a Corel Word Perfect v. 10 program that does have a usable address book. These two programs apparently aren't compatible, and there are times when it would be handy to use Word rather than Corel.

State to launch $68m solar panel program
Patrick's plan, which does not involve new taxes or fees, seeks to greatly simplify the process for people and businesses to get funding for promoting green power, including solar. The plan includes special incentives for buying Massachusetts-made solar panels and extra aid targeted at lower-income homeowners. Instead of the system that now requires filling out complicated grant applications and getting an approval that can take months or years, homeowners and businesses following new state rules will be able to get the equivalent of mail-in rebates covering as much as half to two-thirds of what they spent installing solar panels. Patrick's plan, which is backed by Senate President Therese Murray and House Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi, relies substantially on a roughly 25-cent-a-month tax levied on Bay State homeowners' electric bills for the last decade.
