Social networking sites have become the digital equivalent of “hanging out a mall”

Per Google's Joe Kraus “social networking is the latest fashion –the new black,” as he called it.

“People have been endlessly fascinated by one another for a very long time. Social networking is not new; we just have new ways to do it.”

Social networking is truly a world-wide phenomenon

Membership life cycle for online communities

4. Boundary (i.e. Leader) - A member brokering interactions and encouraging/sustaining participation

5. Outbound (i.e. Elder) - On his way to leaving the community, perhaps to another community due to a particular change in the community or personal choice. 19

Amy Jo Kim proposed member’s life cycle in an online community (2000). The cycle suggests five phases of a user’s lifecycle within a community: 1. Peripheral (i.e. Lurker) -

An outsider, unstructured participation

2. Inbound (i.e. Novice) -New user, invested in the community, on his way to full participation

3. Insider (i.e. Regular) -Committed participator, member of the community

Flickr Case study

□ Flickr was developed by Ludicorp a Vancouver, B.C., Canada-based company that launched Flickr in February 2004.

□ The service emerged out of tools originally created for Ludicorp'sGame Neverending, a web-based massively multiplayer online game. Flickr proved a more feasible project and ultimately Game Neverending was shelved.

□ Some of the key features of Flickr not initially present were tags, marking photos as favorites, group photo pools and interestingness.

□ In March 2005, Yahoo! acquired Ludicorp and Flickr. During the week of June 28, 2005, all content was migrated from servers in Canada to servers in the United States, resulting in all data being subject to United States federal law.– Source: Wikipedia

Why do individualsparticipate in communities?

Page 37: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

Why do users participate in virtual communities?

According to Peter Kollock in The Economies of Online Cooperation: Gifts and Public Goods in Cyberspace,

1. Anticipated Reciprocity – Motivated by the expectation that he will receive useful help and information in return. Indeed we have seen such active users receiving more help than lurkers.

2. Increased recognition - the desire for prestige is a key motivation. Contributions increase if they are visible and credited to the contributor. … the powerful effects of seemingly trivial markers of recognition (e.g. stars, ranking) are overwhelming.

3. Sense of efficacy - Individuals may contribute because the act results in sense of contribution to the community. Wikipedia is a good example of this.

37http://thenextweb.com/

Page 38: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

Other factors that motivate community participation

1. Connections within the community - the more friends a user has within a given community, the more important it becomes for him to participate in.

2. Emotional Safety - a sense of belonging and identifying with the community. The key is to get individuals to become regular users in the community and create a cozy and “feel good” environment for them.

3. Common emotional connection - niche communities that are built around a particular emotional connection/cause between members tend to become more cohesive and experience lower percentages of participation inequality.

4. Altruism - Yossi Vardi coined the term “Dopamine Over IP” - each user transfers dopamine to another user….by contributing content, a user knows that he will cause pleasure to those who view it and those users that forward this content onwards, know the same. 38

Fundamental Building Blocks of the Web

□ URL – universal means of identifying and addressing content.

□ HTTP – A protocol for client-server communication

□ HTML – A simple markup language for communicating hyper-text content.

39

Page 40: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

The web is more interesting when you can build apps that easily interact with your friends and colleagues.

40

The Web is better when it is social!

Page 41: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

First steps towards a Social Networking platform …

□ establish a single identity to log on to many sites;

□ share private resources such as photos or contact lists without handing out private credentials (such as an email account password); and

□ distribute information across multiple social applications.

41

Page 42: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

OpenSocial defines a common API for social applications across multiple websites.

With standard JavaScript and HTML, developers can create apps that access a social network's friends and update feeds.

A common API => you have less to learn to build for multiple websites.

The ultimate goal is for any social website to be able to implement the API and host 3rd party social applications.

42

OpenSocial – Many Sites, One API

Page 53: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

Fostering collaboration to propel business results continues to be the elusive goal of many organizations.

□ Could Web 2.0 tools be the silver bullet?

□ Pundits assert that – Web 2.0 tools could aggregate business

information and digital content– “Crowdsourcing” models may work within the

enterprise.– Demographics is playing a role as a more

tech-savvy generation is entering the workforce.

□ Sheila Jordan, Vice President of IT, communications and Collaboration Technologies at Cisco “We are looking for applications that help people really have water-cooler talk”

□ Sue Bostrom – Chief Marketing Officer“People come to the web looking for expertise. We are giving that. Cisco.com answers consumers’ questions and encourages interaction with vendors and employees.

□ Jim Grubb, Vice president of Corporate Communications Architecture “Collaboration helps a world community solve big problems”

54

Page 55: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

Changing Corporate Demographics is helping the adoption of Web 2.0 in the Enterprise

□ Boomers take their knowledge with them into retirement. Organizations with an older workforce face a retirement surge and are forecasting a brain-drain crisis.

□ Gen Xers gather information. The members of the Gen X demographic are positioning themselves to become the leaders of tomorrow.

□ Millennials expect computing environments at work that operate much like the highly connected environments of their social lives

55

Your employees are perhaps already on board and are very eager to□ connect with their peers

□ belong to a network

□ share knowledge

□ acquire on-line reputation

□ collaborate with co-workers

□ enhance their own expertise

□ network with anyone, anywhere, anytime

□ develop a sense of mutual trust and obligation56

Social Bookmarks

□ Social bookmarks enable people to mark Web pages of interest and to share those Web locations with others. These bookmarks are shared on a Web site for others to see.

□ Anyone can score or vote on the page to indicate a measure of relevance to others.

□ Over time, the more-popular sites rise to the top of the list as more people bookmark them and comment on them. This results in a list of pages that a group considers important to share among its members.

Social Bookmarking in the Enterprise

□ In the workplace, social bookmarks are used to provide a common set of links for people to share in a way that builds a community around topics of interest.

□ Connectbeam, Cogenz, IBM

A pioneer and leader in social bookmarking and tagging for the enterprise.

• Social Tagging. With Spotlight, employees easily share the information they find, both out on the Web and inside the organization.

• Social Activity Repository. Connectbeamautomatically pulls references to employee generated content in the different social software applications across company Intranets.

Taxonomies can be beneficial

□ Enhanced search. Effective information retrieval matches users’ often vague needs with meaningful search results.

□ Intuitive navigation. Reorganizing a Web site or intranet to match users’ needs, wants

□ Enriched content. Taxonomies add descriptive contextual structure to information (i.e., who wrote it for what purpose).

□ Interoperable and reusable content. Diverse content structured with global and local metadata is easier to merge and treat holistically.

□ Amplified social connections among people. People who share the same awareness and interest in content may connect through a common taxonomy.

□ Smooth technology implementation. Computers are able to carry out advanced semantic capabilities more intelligently when the content is well structured.

□ Improved oversight and information management. Enriched content is easier to isolate, identify, and collect according to shared characteristics, such as recipient, purpose, or topic.

75

Page 75: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

Why do Taxonomies Fail?

Jim Wessely, a prominent taxonomy consultant, agrees, explaining, “incorrect categorization is more dangerous than no categorization at all.”

Watch out for ineffective taxonomies that:□ Fail to align with business objectives. □ Overlook how systems process content. □ Ignore how users work or think.

76

Page 76: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

Misunderstanding “taxonomy” is often the root cause of the problem

□ In the business world, the word “taxonomy” covers a lot of ground; its stretched definition is prone to misunderstanding. Any schema that controls language and structures content is called taxonomy.

□ Forrester shares Vivian Bliss’ broad definition of taxonomy:A group of things organized and related according to a set of principles for a specific purpose.

77

Page 77: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

Taxonomy Recommendations

Align taxonomies with business objectives and technology investments

□ Taxonomies range in complexity, formality, and purpose; they can be deconstructed and reconstructed to support knowledge work and solve a variety of business problems.

□ Taxonomy initiatives should be defined carefully in order to represent what customers want so they get the results they expect.

78

Page 78: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

How to implement Taxonomies

□ Plan before you start construction.– Decide on an enterprise versus tactical approach and what kind of

taxonomy to build. Begin with a taxonomy audit.

□ Set a multidisciplinary governance model.– Content producers, IT, and senior management must contribute to the

process.

□ Communicate the goal and use of taxonomy.– Demonstrate how taxonomies are real and important to the work of the

organization to promote their reuse in different projects and systems.

□ Hide the complexity from the end user.– Systems should support dense, linked, and multifaceted taxonomies in the

back-end, but display the structure simply to end users, if at all.

□ Understand good practices, principles, and heuristics.– It takes discipline to build a sound, scalable taxonomy. Start small and

simple.

□ Test and validate the taxonomy. – Don’t assume the taxonomy works without asking real people to test it,

early and often. Monitor the usage and effectiveness of the taxonomy.

It is hard to find things.

Enterprise Findability -- AIIM Market IQ Study (528 End-Users)

□ 49% agree that finding the information needed to do my job is difficult and time consuming.

□ 69% believe that less than half of their organization's information is searchable online.

□ 49% have no formal goal for enterprise findability.

□ 50% believe that findability in their organization is worse than their consumer-facing web site.

81

Page 81: Enterprise Collaboration Two (Deshpande India 2020)

Enterprise Findability = IA + KM + Search

□ In portal space, IA is top-down (e.g., controlled vocabulary). Traditional methods of structure, organization, and evaluation are needed.

□ In collaboration space, IA is emergent. Our job is to observe, shepherd and harness the learning to make things navigable, searchable, etc. (e.g., Technorati).

□ Enterprise search needs to serve as bridge across portal, intranet, collaboration space, web sites, and library databases and services.

□ Success requires supportive culture and incentives.

Integrating Structured and Unstructured Data

83

unstructured structured

Data

Large amounts of unstructured data is scattered across the organization.

This data is in different products and applications such as knowledge management systems, email etc.

Next-generation products are expected to integrate both structured and unstructured data.

1. SQL provides structured queries against structured data.
