Earlier this year, some of my colleagues and I who work with IBM information management software for the System z platform were invited to write essays addressing the question, "Why is IBM System z essential to business?" I decided to act on this invitation, and to get my creative juices flowing I imagined an impromptu conversation with a skeptical CEO on the business value of System z.

Probaby one of the few positive things to come out of the Enron scandle was that it gifted social scientists a data set of real corporate email that could be analysed for research purposes.

via blog.yammer.com. A great post from Stephen Danelutti at Yammer explaining why even if you use viral adoption as a catalyst to get started, you still need a strategy: "The ease of use and virality of a platform like Yammer can be deceivingly simple and lead people to think that a deliberate strategy is not necessary. That’s a mistake, because without direction and an end goal in mind, the network will simply meander and fail to deliver business value.".

Well, yesterday Google did just that, announcing a “mute this ad” feature that it will roll out across its network over the next few months.

When evaluating [enterprise social software], it's best not to create "checkbox RFPs" that allow vendors check off all the features they provide, Byrne said. Rather, ask how they address those requirements, seeking to tease out details on the differences between platforms. Focusing too much on software features is a mistake, when you really should be trying to identify a match for the specific types of collaboration you want to facilitate.
