I recently heard Craig Tobias (Cisco's Web 2.0 architect) speak at a conference and it looks like Cisco is jumping into Web 2.0 with both feet. Cisco has recently release a customer support wiki

Speaking of Cisco getting into Web 2.0, I thought it strange that they put one of their execs on the Board of Foldera (FDRA) recently. Possibly they are peeking in there too.

5 across is a good little company. maybe this will give csco a lift going into the week cause the earnings as good as they were just punished the stock and market.

Good article, Matt. Well-done, though I must point out that Five Across's marquee customer is the National Hockey League (not NFL)and its www.nhlconnect.com community site. If you go there and scroll down to the bottom, you'll see a "Powered by Five Across" designation there.

Duh, I've replaced logo.

Re VoIP, don't think there was a red herring. I think VoIP is definitely party of their strategy, and they're not denying it. But it's more than that. Video is clearly important too, as is messaging...

I prefer the old Cisco-logo.

Vishal is right.

I think the Cisco execs you chatted with threw you a red herring. I think they bought 5across to integrate into the VoIP. Imagine incorporating a softphone into 5across' toolbar and then you have a great way for enterprises to collaborate on a level not seen through today's telephony solutions.

Seconding Vishal in a more eloquent way...

Cisco Systems is now just "Cisco" (in a similar way to Apple Computers becoming Apple, but done many months earlier). It is branching out into ever more diverse network related areas, and the management team has a good understanding that if they just remain with "selling pipes" then they're going to lose. Don't be suprized to see more user focused technologies coming out in the future...

I'm surprised. Adobe should have bought FiveAcross. Read this.
