Managing staff who participate in social networks. This list also includes policies called; Staff blogging policies, enterprise social network guidelines, Employee Blogging Policies, Staff engagement in online communities, and so on. I’ve done a few press (radio, print) interviews this week re: Telstra so I thought I should have another look at how Enterprise, Government, Corporates, Not for Profits  are handling the fact that their staff are members of social networks too.  I once had to step in to calm down a forum that was off the charts with negativity and

I know that for a good number of years Social Computing and Knowledge Management have been walking different paths. Knowledge Management doesn’t want to do anything with Social Computing, because of the chaotic, messy and unstructured sharing of knowledge and information, and how little control organisations may have over it all, specially within communities (Which are currently the major drivers of social software adoption within the business world). Even more, I would probably be able to state that all along they haven’t gotten on well with one other.

Well, today I thought I would share with you what I exactly meant yesterday with that article and also what Rachel probably meant as well in hers: stop all the fuss you are going through to figure out the ROI of social software, and, instead, just go ahead and do it! So along those lines here you have got a brilliant blog post put together by my good friend Laurie Buczek (Enterprise Social Media Program Manager at Intel ), where she is basically detailing, quite nicely, why Intel is moving in the direction of a successful social software adoption starting very soon.

In an earlier post on social computing , I attempted to illustrate how I look at the topic and break social computing down into several sub-categories (e.g., social media, social networking), and the role social software plays as the tooling component. In this post, I'll offer up a definition of social media based on client interactions over the past several Social Media, Definition V1.0: Social media enables public and transparent participation models where people and organizations interact as peers.

While most people out there think that Social Software is all about new, fancy social tools, available on a more engaging and participative Web, I thought you folks would enjoy the following quote from one of my fellow IBM colleagues, Adam Christensen , who happens to know a thing or two (And plenty more! heh) around the subject of social computing: "[...] 34;[...] here’s the main point: That culture is, in my view, the most overlooked, underestimated factor determining whether social media succeeds or fails in a company.

One of the slides that has been well-received is one that I use to peel away the different terms associated with social computing. It seems to add value and remove some of the confusion that people have when it comes to "social everything". If I had to define social computing more purely, I'd lean more towards definitions used by academic institutions or by social computing research labs of major vendors (e.g., Lately, over the past couple of months, I have been doing a high number of customer briefings and traveling a lot. The workload increase has

I love it when all of a sudden, and through one of my various social networks, someone comes along and shares one of those links to rich media that you know you are going to enjoy, not just from digesting its content, but also from the perspective of acknowledging you will be reusing it at some point in time in upcoming presentations you may do on the topics you feel rather passionate about, specially in the area of social software adoption. " 34; What the HELL is social media " is one of those videos … If yesterday I blogged about how important both people and passion are for a successful adoption of social networking for business, both inside and outside of the firewall, today I thought I would share with you folks a link to a YouTube video that, if anything, permeates some of that very same passion from all over the place!
