An Avanade global study of enterprise
social
collaboration trends, analyzing the habits
of
4,000 users and 1,000 IT and business
decision-makers in 22 countries, found that
Facebook is twice as
popular as SharePoint –
73% to 39% Facebook is also four
times more popular that
IBM Open connections
(17%) and six times
more popular than
Salesforce’s Chatter
(12%)

…priorities
Facebook is ranked number
one among social collaboration
technologies in use today
(74%), when asked what social tools
businesses want to adopt in the next year,
"Facebook fell to the very end
of the list with only eight
percent of decision-makers
respondents noting it as a priority,"
