It's time to take your business 'social' with ConcourseConnect, a new do-it-yourself social networking software platform.  Taking your business 'social' is a paradigm shift in which users openly share knowledge -- it's a one-to-many community relationship in which users participate with familiar social networking features.

To get started I suggest you take a look at what ConcourseConnect does...

Open Source brings a new dimension to business social software making ConcourseConnect the compelling choice for building commercial communities, social networking sites, and corporate intranets.  This may just be the de facto Java Open Source platform for implementing and deploying social software and social business software.  We aim to make it so and we need your help...

ConcourseConnect 1.0, our directory, community, social networking, and web 2.0 product will officially launch in a couple of days, with press releases and all the fanfare. Code will be available here and on Sourceforge before end of day tomorrow (May 8, 2009).

I want to take a minute and talk about my view of what this beast is, and why it's important.
