Social Networking in the Enterprise

This is another thing that will have to happen soon. If not soon, then when the web 2.0 generation starts running companies. I saw this company has a new release on some enterprise social networking software.

Pretty cool stuff. Again, I think one main goal of this is to raise the collective consciousness. One person by them self isn't smart (exception typing). That is why we have teams. To be able to connect everyone's thoughts, allow them to communicate, record this communication, you are essentially creating a collective consciousness.

Not just that, but just facilitating different types of communication is important. Everyone uses email, phone and meets for real at most large companies. Email is going to be used less and less, but it will have its place for stuff that isnt interactive and is more formal.

User created content, interacting with user created content. Now we just have to mine this content with a text mining tool to get relevance.
