The Secret behind Google Buzz

From: The Secret Behind Google Buzz http://bit.ly/dw5UM8

"...The ability to give localized, relevant search results that change based on your social graph is the biggest opportunities that lies ahead of Google. The first thing that achieve is Buzz is that now everyone are running to update their Google profiles with their links to their Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and the rest of their social links.
Suddenly, Google has what they always wanted – a complete and accurate social graph of the all world. Add the fact that they can now also data mine all these links and build the most sophisticated behavioral profile of each one of us, and you can start to understand the huge potential this can have on search and its associated advertising....."

The Über-Connected Organization: A Mandate for 2010 - The Conversation - Harvard Business Review

The Über-Connected Organization: A Mandate for 2010 - The Conversation - Harvard Business Review

Recent research provides evidence that there are business benefits to becoming an über-connected organization:
  • Access to social media improves productivity.
  • Millennials will seek jobs that encourage the use of social media.
  • Companies that provide access to social media create a more engaged workforce.
Companies who want to attract and recruit the best talent will realize becoming über-connected will be a business imperative. The journey starts with asking yourself three questions:
  1. What business benefits are you trying to solve?
  2. Who needs to be involved in the coalition to become über-connected?
  3. What type of change management plan needs to be put into place?

Enterprise 2.0 Schism

Andrew McAfee writes Nov 20, 2009: I’ve been thinking about what to write in the wake of the recent Enterprise 2.0 conference. One more summary seems unnecessary, since there have been so many good ones already. And the debates are starting to feel a little trumped up and warmed over, and so less fun to wade back into. And then I got inspiration from Greg Lloyd, President and co-founder of Traction Software and longtime technologist. In addition to running his company Greg finds time to write a great blog, and his post after the conference was called “Enterprise 2.0 Schism.”

The real power of the Web - Linking People + Linking Data

Linking people - The Social Web
  • People have experiences and stories that most likely at one time or another are of value to others.
Linking Data
  • The concept of Linked Data as envisioned by Tim Berners-Lee , the inventor of The World Wide Web
The real power: When lots of people are connected and tools/places available to put data ==> create world power resources like: Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap and others.

There must be a way to leverage these kind of knowledge tools inside the Enterprise (no doubt there is a great need for it)

“None of us is as smart as all of us”

Swiss Re – One of the Smart Companies

Anu, who is their Vice President of Communications and HR, told us that the mantra for the project is the proverb “None of us is as smart as all of us”, which is a superb way to position their intent. She says:

“increasing virtualisation of work including a large number of geographically dispersed teams drove the need for a collaboration platform in Swiss Re. We needed to break silos and increase interaction between different units and experts..”

The Future of the Social Web

From Forester report:

The Future of the Social Web

Today’s social experience is disjointed because consumers have separate identities in each social network they visit. A simple set of technologies that enable a portable identity will soon empower consumers to bring their identities with them — transforming marketing, eCommerce, CRM, and advertising. IDs are just the beginning of this transformation, in which the Web will evolve step by step from separate social sites into a shared social experience. Consumers will rely on their peers as they make online decisions, whether or not brands choose to participate. Socially connected consumers will strengthen communities and shift power away from brands and CRM systems; eventually this will result in empowered communities defining the next generation of products.

Some great resources on E2.0 , KM and the Enterprise

The 2 previous posts to two great E2.0 presnetations.

Here's even more on E2.0, KM and the Enterprise - now we are getting to the core of the value proposition.

This YouTube video explains in a very instructive and simple way the difference and relationship between Data Management, Information Management and Knowledge Management

Slideshare: "Getting Real about Enterprise 2.0"

Seth Godin on social networking.

An excellent example of the value of Enterprise Blogging


Defining Knowledge Management and Enterprise 2.0

I Finally Get It – Why Social Networking is So Important

CMS vs. Web 2.0 vs. Social Media – Do You Know the Difference?
"It is the PEOPLE that hold the knowledge. We can only do a Google search and find information that is already there. But what if it is real time and the information is not there yet? Or if the information we need is in a file folder on the desk, or on the local drive of a co-worker, or on a sticky note? My point? Link the people together (network) and they will share the knowledge."

It’s through stories that we understand how the world works.”

Why Social Networking? To tell stories. To make sense of the information we share. To put it in context. THAT is the value of Social Networking. So many people dismiss the need to network in this way, yet again we see how critical it really is!

There are many ways to fuel the creative fires—from management techniques to team-building and effectively leveraging existing and emerging technological investments.
