Comments on: Microsoft lags IBM in Social Software http://steve-dale.net/2008/06/16/microsoft-lags-ibm-in-social-software/ Perceptions about learning and sharing in a virtual world by Steve Dale Tue, 13 Jul 2010 07:16:10 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Steve Dale http://steve-dale.net/2008/06/16/microsoft-lags-ibm-in-social-software/comment-page-1/#comment-752 Steve Dale Wed, 18 Feb 2009 20:04:40 +0000 http://steve-dale.net/?p=213#comment-752 Hi Jacob, I don't have much experience with Sharepoint as a social computing environment, only as a teamsite (i.e. project-based and not discussion and collaboration-based). Regretably for you, I've yet to see any Sharepoint implementation that could be categorised as a social computing platform, so whether this means that the plug-ins are not available or that they have been poorly implemented I'm not sure. You might want to check out blueKiwi which I've mentioned in my post since this integrates very well with Sharepoint (based on .Net framework) and they may be utilising some Sharepoint plug-ins. Rob Gray is a good contact there. Hi Jacob,

I'm currently working with an organization to build communities of practice and they're currently using Sharepoint 2003 and planning to implement 2007 in the next year or so. This is a global mining organization so the implementation will take some time. I'm wondering if you have any recommendations for plug-ins/add ons that can be used with Sharepoint 2003 to help with the functionality for CoPs...something to get us through the next year. Once they've got MOSS 2007 I've recommended they use Tomoye as their add-on... Thanks for the insight Stephen.
