My daughter loves to share. In fact, I have to teach her that it’s ok not to share at times. Eventually though, she’ll learn to share selectively, once some fifth-grade jerk steals her awesome idea for the science fair, or that jackass three cubes over throws her under the bus to take the blame for [...]
I learned about IBM Research’s findings from their internal Beehive project from one of our customers’ posts.
In his post, Ted says that “they have their own corporate intranet, called Beehive.” Actually, Beehive is not IBM’s intranet. W3, or the “On Demand Workplace” is, which is built on IBM WebSphere Portal, IBM Lotus Domino, and lots [...]
If you need some help convincing your executives that social software is critical in these belt-tightening times, check out the following use cases on the new Jive Software site. They include quotes from recognizable Jive customers, plus what analysts are saying about Jive. Feel free to request a live consultation with a Jive solutions expert [...]
There, I said it.
If I’m a C-level executive at a large enterprise, and a vendor tells me the business value that, say, four other companies in my industry have experienced using their social software, I will be hopeful. Hell, I’ll be excited. And, to be fair, maybe that’s all business value statements are designed to [...]
Bake-offs, baby. That’s my thing lately. I’ve only got three on deck, but it seems to be an ever-constant activity, since we basically do the same thing with customers who need to present a customized environment to some powerful stakeholder soon (thanks, @derekdemoro, for pointing that out!)
To me, bake-offs are rife with corporate politics. Ok, [...]
I have to get all of this Clearspace 2.5 love out of my system this week, apparently. We are video-crazy at Jive lately, and some of our work, like the following by Adam Wulf, is informative while making you giggle. No audio on this one, as it wasn’t needed.
Adam is one of the core members [...]
We’ve announced Clearspace 2.5. Finally. You can get all the snazzy details from our freshly updated website - be sure to check out the groovin’ videos!
I thought I’d focus one one little ol’ capability within Clearspace 2.5 myself, though. It’s the befriending feature. You’d think it would be the same ol’ same ol’, but c’mon. [...]
At Jive, we have status (aka “what are you doing?”) wars. Here’s an example:
Gia changed status to “is dragging ass.”
Derek changed status to “is dragging even more ass.”
Gia changed status to “is dragging ass so low she has asphalt up her butt.”
It’s a different kind of competition, and a bit more fun than accumulating reputation [...]
Ever wish you could find someone working on social media or Enterprise 2.0 efforts at other companies, same as you? Wish you could pick their brain about how the heck they justified the implementation cost? Found that elusive ROI? Tricks to get employees to use it? Best way to communicate your new online community to [...]
You’re on a conference call. You’re “multitasking” - the word we all use to describe all the work we’re doing while the blah blah blah is going on over the phone.
Your attention is precious.
What kind of things would you want to see in your online experience throughout the day? Check out Sam’s The 5 Futures [...]
I am currently Director of Social Enterprise Evangelism at Jive Software and enjoy speaking with customers about how to use this stuff in the real world. Although I write about social software and enterprise adoption, my opinions are biased in favor of Jive's social networking and collaboration and community solutions, but that doesn't mean Jive shares my views. I live in St. Paul, MN with my husband, daughter, a dog and a cat. And sometimes a rabbit named Cocoa.
