Microsoft design point is to co-mingle structured collaboration tools alongside social computing tools - it's unrealistic to think of social computing disconnected from collaborations strategies
Microsoft also thinks of the IT Pro ... Microsoft believes SharePoint scales to meet as narrow or broad a view an organization has on social computing, you can use it in a very classic Notes from Christian Finn, Director, Social Computing

I am at a Microsoft event in Christchurch (New Zealand), co-presented by Intergen New Zealand . The event is focused on how to use various Microsoft technologies for emergency response. You can learn more about the initiative at Microsoft Citizen Safety Architecture, at www.microsoft.com/csa . The architecture describes how to use various Microsoft technologies to support agencies and organizations focused on citizen safety. There's about 50 people here for the 2 hour session.

I thought I would offer some comments on some UC predictions offered by Gurdeep Singh Pall, who heads Microsoft's UC group:
No Jitter | Microsoft: Gurdeep's UC Predictions
single identity with presence at the core is spot on - but it makes you wonder why Microsoft does not openly share its rich presence information? 1. UC gets unified The term "unified communications" has long been muddled and miss-used, and the problem is made worse by vendors who slap a "unified" label on products that are anything but.

With Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
Interesting - but I remain quite skeptical - especially regarding "MOSS 2007 as your default option for enabling and managing social networks for business use". This situation can influence decision-making - people may prefer to evolve with Microsoft over the next couple of years as they figure this space out - especially for internal deployments.

I really do enjoy seeing this type of innovation coming from Microsoft - the SharePoint team could learn a lot by working more closely with these folks - and consider leveraging their solutions for the next release of SharePoint.

Microsoft is trying to "have it's cake and eat it to". Cloud does not make it any easier for Microsoft to deliver business capabilities defacto any faster if (1) internally, the development cycle remains the same and (2) there are no specific architectural changes to allow different collections of components to be released at different pace rates.
While there is a level of irrational exuberance right now at the conference given all the changes in this release (there is a lot in SP2010 to like), business and IT Jeff Teper, Corporate VP; Kirk Koenigsbauer, GM

If there's good news - at least Microsoft realizes that the intersect between social media / social networking and CRM is important to address.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Announces New Solution Accelerators: CRM Accelerators have exceeded 50,000 downloads to drive customer and partner value.
This is a smart enhancement to Microsoft Dynamics CRM.”
I'm still catching up with my backlog of news, feeds, etc - but this caught my attention - but not in a good way - it seems to be a fairly feeble attempt to cover the brand monitoring / reputation space. Demo is simplistic
