A snapshot of a bad company
Imagine if you could read the cuneiform tablets of Sodom and Gamorah from before their destruction. Or could hear radio communications from the Khmer Rouge before and during their genocidal terror. You might get insight into the nature of evil. Why do good men do nothing? Why does it grow? What are its weaknesses?
Here we can have a taste of that on a different scale. A much lesser evil, but documented in much greater detail. It seems that the people at InBoxer, manufacturers of corporate internal spyware tool, have the entire Enron email database loaded into their software, so you can see how their tool would have helped you to find some of the rotten apples in that barrel.
IT looks like an interesting idea, but judging from the demo, the UI is horrible. Like many badly design web-applications it combines flaws (and some strengths) of web sites and offline applications.
