SystemOne: gather your resources as you write

SystemOne will launch their new enterprise collaboration service at DEMO this month. I just got a look inside and it’s impressive.
A small and medium business edition should be available later this year or early next year and a consumer edition is slated for the middle of next year.
Essentially, it’s a wiki that analyzes what you are writing in real time and offers up related search results from other pages in that wiki, the web in general, your uploaded OPML file of RSS feeds, your emails and any files the system is given access to.
You can see the number of available results change as you type and your text is run through a semantic algorithm to determine what subjects your text is really about. Those numbers can be clicked on and an ajax drop down box displays your results. Those items can be copied and pasted into the body of the text and linked to the resource referenced.
There’s also a Java applet that displays inbound links from inside the wiki, from the external web and recommends other users who have written consistently on the same topic as the document being analyzed. A graph view displays how many times and when any given document has been viewed.
In other words, any document you are collaborating on is analyzed in real time and surrounded with related resources from a wide variety of personal and global sources. If you’d like to see the company’s own explanation of their product, they have a very well made and buzz-word-free screencast available.
