I'm testing a new product from Koral -- "content management for the rest of us". Basically, it's a very simple (to use) system designed to compete with Sharepoint, Documentum, and other document management systems.
One of the most interesting things about it is that it doesn't support a file folder structure (although it will allow for the importation of a company controlled vocabulary in the paid version).
Instead, it operates on the principle of an assisted folksonomy -- it suggests tags and allows users to tag their documents manually, and also includes a search function. Their theory is that, although everyone has the best of intentions in setting up folders, it just makes things cumbersome. People always resort to just using the 'search' function.
I do always use Google desktop to find things and my desktop is a terrible mess, but I wonder if more organized people will rebel against this enforced chaos (you can't create folders, only separate workspaces)
Anyway, try it out. It's pretty nifty. It'd be niftier with Inxight's autotagging, though (shameless plug!)
