Tekarma, a new user-generated product support site, launched its private beta today. Tekarma wants to provide users with a central place to find and share tips and trick about products. Currently, the site focuses mostly on electronics, cars, and sporting goods. Maybe the best way to describe Tekarma is as a mix between a wiki, forum, and a tech support call center. If you want to try it out yourself, you can find a link to the private beta at the end of this post.

In the world of enterprise I.T., everything is a security risk: your insecure password, an unexpected email attachment, a careless web surfer clicking through to a malicious URL, or the unapproved software you installed on your computer. Today's I.T. has plenty of tools to handle most of these threats, ranging from firewalls and spam filters to malware fighting software and application control mechanisms. Now, they will soon have something more: a new Application Control Engine that specifically goes after and shuts down Web 2.0 apps and social network widgets.
