Some of these tools can be cloud based but they also need to be business based.
They picked the same 11 technologies studied in the vendor report: blogs, forums, mashups, microblogs, podcasts, prediction markets, RSS, social bookmarks, social networks, widgets, and wikis
But microblogging will only become valuable to the enterprise once it truly integrates with other enterprise processes and applications, and only after a whole set of additional tools are added to help filter content and refine the value of aggregated information.
Est-ce vraiment la solution? Est-ce que l'intérêt du micro-blogging n'est pas justement dans le fait de plugger ces solutions sur l'existant et d'attendre... Micro-blogging as usual.
Bill Ives revient sur un rapport de Forrester consacré aux technologies du web social pour l'entreprise qui s'adresse aux responsables KM et souligne les opportunités qu'ils peuvent en tirer.
I believe two factors are at play:
Mobility makes us omnipresent, but short on time. Microblogging appeals to those who use mobile devices. It provides a channel that honors our thumbs and encourages us to say just a few words. And we can connect to the intranet from anywhere. For some, this is true power.
The list of people I “follow” may be interesting to you. Although Web 2.0 tools present information, their use becomes increasingly more interesting when we look at the network of people who generate and care about the information. In the case of the microblog: my “follow -list” may be more interesting to you than my micro-posts.

pourrait les mettre en valeur - le bruit qui brouille le signal sur Twitter -
mais sur l'état d'avancement de leurs tâches respectives.
