Enterprise Social Software (Christian Gray, Craig Honick; IT Conversations; 14 April 2008)
Very interesting discussion of current uses (and likely expansion) of various “social networking” tools in companies, and the knowledge-management/productivity implications. Discusses how tools (e.g., wikis, instant messaging, twitter, SecondLife, podcasts, blogging) can affect productivity and effect collaboration. Discusses inward-facing uses of these tools (e.g., within the enterprise’s firewall) and outward-facing uses (e.g., facilitating the emergence of customers’ communities). Discusses how some implementations may occur informally (e.g., using no-cost software within a department), and how such efforts may run afoul of company policies (e.g., on IP protection). 48 minutes: here. For analysis of the policy implications, see Polley’s ABA video-podcast “Blogs, Social Networking and Web 2.0” here.
