What The Heck Do I Do?
Yes, I get this question, well a lot. Not only from my family and friends but my online communities.
What is my job? What do I do?
I am the Social Media Strategist for Meshin a Xerox-funded project incubated at Palo Alto Research Center aka PARC.
Yes, that Palo Alto Research Center,(PARC), A Xerox company (a wholly owned subsidiary), a place of innovation including laser printing, the personal workstation, natural language processing and yes that is what Meshin is based on. It is technology with the brains to understand your information.
It is my job to use Social Media tools to bring brand awareness to Meshin. I need to let people know what we are doing here at Meshin, like what the team is creating, answer questions, give demos, invite people in who want to know more and a lot of other things. I think you get the point.
So, what is Meshin. First ever semantic Outlook sidebar helping you find, discover and organize information across your communication streams starting with email.
What? You want me to try explaining it again? I think you will do better if you download and install it. It is one of those things you need to try.
If you want, you can signup for the beta and request an invite to check it out. If you leave a comment that you signed up, I will see if I can work some magic and get you the beta asap. Move you to the front of the line We currently only have so many right now. So just click here, request and let me know via comment below.

I signed up – installed on Outlook 2010 – but the product doesn't launch.
I sent an email to Meshin but haven't had a reply. I uninstalled GIST before I installed Meshin
Now I've uninstalled Meshin, and reinstalled GIST.
I was excited by Meshin, perhaps I'll get a response form someone soon with some ideas as to how I can get it to work on Outlook 2010 32 bit. Windows 7 64 bit.

How is Meshin different than Xobni?

Well to start Meshin uses semantic technology to find things. It understands the meanings of the words.

That's not extremely helpful. I would try it and see for myself but I don't use Outlook. I use to use Outlook and had Xobni. I have recommended Xobni to my clients. I would be inclined to suggest Meshin if you could give me some more details.
