“The New New Thing Is Social SaaS
If SaaS was simply doing traditional enterprise IT but with a Net Native design at a fraction of the cost it would be big. But that is only the start. What really differentiates the SaaS winners is that they have a social media/networking twist at the core of their value proposition.”

SaaS can prove to be useful and meaningful in various scenarios. The most evident one is interaction with clients where you can provide them with an exchange platform for projects and knowledge sharing.

“With the popularity to Twitter and other Microblogging tools, we should expect to see a flurry of simliar tools for project and program management for the enterprises (..).
Stemming from commodity technology, I’m sure I’ll have a hard time keeping this list up to date over a few months –expect IM vendors, blogging vendors, community platforms, enterprise 2.0 vendors, and a flurry of startups to offer similiar features, first read up on the pros and cons as well as some potential use cases.
It’s interesting to see the need to justify enterprise needs of such tools that are already being adopted by consumers, typical of enterprise settings (I’m a former enterprise intranet manager). With that said, let’s start the definitive list.”

“We’ve covered the launch of Google’s new browser Chrome extensively this week. But as we near the end of the week, one of the questions yet to be answered is how Chrome will fare in the enterprise. As we all know Google is making a strong push into the enterprise with Google Apps, which received a further boost this week with the launch of Google Video for Business.
However, there is a lot of work needed to get Chrome ready for the office. Already our readers have noticed compatibility and usability issues that will hamper enterprise adoption.”

In this article, the author evaluates the readiness of Google Chrome for use in a corporate environment. All in all, it seems to mostly come down to the lack of ActiveX support in Google’s latest browser.
Personally I think that the lack of ActiveX support is a “good” thing. It is not Google Chrome that needs to change, it is the applications using ActiveX.
With Google Chrome, the user base of Internet Explorer will most likely continue to decline, hopefully forcing vendors to finally evolve and use standard technology, making the web a better place both for users and web app developpers.

“The report shows how social media, based on “Web 2.0″ technologies, is approaching the tipping-point. First generation tools now in widespread use, such as text-oriented email, web sites, and shared workspaces, are soon to be supplemented by social media applications that incorporate blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, rich media, and other innovative technologies. The Gilbane research report predicts the transition from horizontal applications to vertical solutions, and offers a number of strategies to help companies with the transition.”

“The tag cloud brings to the fore your most used terms and it can be a shock to discover that you have placed the emphasis in totally the wrong area. It then struck me that you could do this with any form of literature - a web page, training publicity, membership recruitment forms.”

More than talking about tag clouds, I would talk about word clouds. Anyway it is indeed a great way to visualize the content of a document. Worth trying!

“Did you notice that the “Web 2.0” term was outdated? One can say that after months (years?) of overselling the “2.0”” stuff, it begins to fade. Now, modern marketers talks about “Social Media“. Because with always newer services, always more sophisticated concepts, copycat, mashups of mashups… it really begins to be confusing. This is why it was important to divide this big “ratatouille 2.0” into smaller meta-concepts to ease the understanding (Enterprise 2.0, Social Shopping, Social Medias…).”

Interesting article of Frédéric Cavazza on Social Media, i.e. the new term for the ‘web 2.0′ buzzword. He clearly defines the richness of these tools and services… but are you ready to experiment their endless landscape?

Try doing the same to your enterprise. Let your employees pull and centralize all relevant information feeds, classify them by social tagging, create domain-specific bundles and redistribute specific knowledge flows to your knowledge workers without drowning them! That’s shared knowledge power!
