Meet Charlie, also known as Mr. Enterprise 2.0

Categories: Enterprise Web, Social MediaPosted on September 8th, 2007

Above is Charlie, a fictional IT knowledge worker who’s using social computing in the enterprise, despite that he needs to fix his collar, he’s deploying some very productive programs that could change a company.

Great primer for those that need to learn how social software can aid the intranet, it was created by Scott Gavin, who really, really knows how to market himself, who appears to be connected to the corporate punk. I could have used guys like this when I was managing the enterprise intranet at HDS.

What do I like best about the presentation? not only does it just list out the tools, it shows HOW they can be used, and in an digi-integrated way.

Great slideshow Jeremiah. It will be helpful to me next month as I make presentations. *still pinching myself! And I think one of those dots possibly was in Minnesota! Who’d have thought it was possible?!

Here are some questions (I really need my own blog…)
What does everyone think of replacing LinkedIn with Facebook? All of my networking that has resulted in conversations has happened in FB. The only thing that’s happened in LinkedIn has been the initial connection - nada mas. I’m getting cool pm’s in Facebook that are so pertinent (like one from a software developer at Microsoft! who wasn’t on my friend’s list - he is now!). Do you think people are more comfortable communicating in a more relaxed environment like FB? (Hey! you don’t have a LinkedIn button in your list under your photo…)

I’m not accepting LinkedIn invites anymore, just Facebook and Twitter!

My LinkedIn profile looks good, but other than that.. it just sits there. Admittedly, I haven’t dug in to how I could use it for networking.

Interesting slide show. I’ve been debating with friends about the real value of enterprise 2.0 ideas/products/services. I like the idea that such concepts can create real business efficiencies - helping employees and companies save time and money, but I’m not yet convinced. Perhaps for me it’s a matter of economies of scale within the workplace - i.e., when enough people are using them, they will indeed be powerful, but it’s not there yet.(Chicken and egg problem.) I think this kind of presentation could be a LOT MORE powerful for businesses if it could show value more quantitatively. Also, businesses would buy into the concept (and launch such practices/applications within their organizations) if they could see the ROI a bit more. A couple case studies could be a powerful sell-in for this kind of presentation - at least convincing some organizations to start a pilot to test it out.

Interesting slide show, very well done. I think these are great applications, but the issue I have with them is you must have Internet access to use these applications.

Anytime, anywhere access is still the issue I see with web-based applications. If you are not online, you are unable to access these applications and the associated content. I think Google Gears is a step in the right direction for allowing off-line access to online-tools but this is still not widely implemented.
