White Papers about Social Computing
The last week I read two white papers about Social Computing. The first was from Socialtext, Five Best Practices for Enterprise Success. And the second was from NewsGator, Delivering ROI with Enterprise Social Computing. Both papers were interesting, since I’m interesting to find out what is the additional benefit for a company to use social software (components). Until now, I found no independently research about experience with such software. Mostly the papers speak about Fortune 100 companies. But the most companies are members of the SMB market.
The Socialtext white paper indicates that “employees spend up to 25 % of their day looking for information, which can be 25 % of your staff costs” (based on a IDC research). Further it mentioned, that “only 13 % of people can find someone with a particular area of expertise in their own company” (based on an IBM study). Social software should help to reduce the time to find the information or the people.
NewsGator say in the future, all computing will be social. They say, that by reducing the email volumne and support costs are one of the reasons to use social software. Further, the travelling cost can be reduced. Besides this most of the people found their current position by networking. But this could only a reason if they find the new job inside of the company.
46.902 Euro for a weblog
The weblog ‘Basic Thinking‘ was sold on Thursday for 46.902 Euro. In Germany this is (was) a very popular blog. It was bought by a company called serverloft, which is a German hosting and internet-service company. My prospection was that the selling price would be higher. But of course, it is a lot of money.
My Top 10 entries on Planet Lotus
The following blog entries are my Top 10 entries on Planet Lotus.org in 2008. There is one entry with more than 200 hits and five entries with more than 100 hits. The blog entry with the most hits was a very short entry about a new Dojo Toolkit and Domino example database on OpenNTF.org. The second entry was a short report about the win of an Innovation Award of PAVONE KnowledgeGateway. The third entry was a link to my presentation of the integration of the Dojo Toolkit into Lotus Domino applications. This presentation gets over 8550 hits on Slidehare.
Of course, all blog entries in the list are on english. So I have to write
more articles in english… 🙂
Do you know how to blog with Lotus Connections?
If not, IBM has published a Getting Started: Blogs slide demo to explain it. It is useful for people who want to start with blogging in Lotus Connections. I have got the link from ‘The Collaboration Soapbox‘ blog.
Video: Functions of the new PAVONE NewsReader plugin – Part 1
I have created a second video of the PAVONE NewsReader 9. It shows the different views in the plugin; how to open the news site; how to delete news; how to add a new feed. If you like to download the version, please go to the PAVONE NewsReader website and click on ‘Download’ in the Quicklinks section.
Video: How to install the new PAVONE NewsReader plugin?
Since friday the new release version of PAVONE NewsReader 9 is available. According to the video to install TwitNotes I have created a video which shows how to install and configure the new sidebar plugin in the IBM Lotus Notes client. It is my first video on YouTube.com so the quality is not very good. But, I think the few steps to install the plugin can be recognised. The application is free for personal use and can be downloaded on the download page.
