Smarter, Simpler, Social
From Smarter, Simpler, Social:
"Whilst the first wave of online applications was characterised by large, centralised top-down implementations driven by a command-and-control mentality, the outlines of an alternative approach that is informed by new thinking about social networks and online behaviour is coming into focus. This approach is driven not by major IT vendors, but by rapid innovation occurring “in the wild”, where free or almost free online social applications are achieving usage levels and a depth of user engagement that enterprise software purchasers can only dream about. It is smarter, simpler and social." [link via elearningpost]Given all the buzz surrounding "social software," I found this to be an actually useful summary regarding some of the key issues. And it has a lot of juicy links in it!
