On the four rings of enterprise social tools
Posted on May 11, 2008 by bradhinton
This a short post to alert people to an interesting item from Thomas Venderwal on enterprise social tools.
One of the difficulties of applying social tools in the organisation relates to how well they mesh together. Vanderwal illustrates the issue with his four rings of enterprise social tools: the tools themselves, interface and ease of use, sociality, and encouraging use. Where these four elements overlap is what provides the greatest interest - check out the post and we will come back to the discussion later in the week.
