The Shift From Sharing To Getting Work Done
Over the last few years employees have slowly grown accustomed to using social software at work. Actions such as posting status updates, sharing links to web sites and publishing personal blogs have provided great starting points for getting people engaged, but now it's time for employees to start using social software to help Get Work Done. In this session we'll discuss the growing trends of using social tools for task/project management and integration of social elements into core-businesses process. You'll hear how departments such as Human Resources, Marketing and Support can use social technologies to improve the way people work. Topics will include social/workforce analytics, social media monitoring, mobile devices and gamification. It's time to take social software from a tool for sharing to a key contributor of company success.

So, discovering information about people is nice, but now start to layer in what those people are doing.What they are reading or writing.Questions they are asking.Ideas they are sharing.Photos and videos.
With all these people creating all this content, we need ways to interact with it all, which leads to what I call “the new verbs”The new verbs are actions like bookmark, like, +1, share, retweet.These actions make it simple to put your stamp of approval on objects, inform the owners or creators that you approve.These simple gestures make it easy for people to get a sense of what is popular and what is now.For example, a blogger can now easily tell which posts people liked and shared with others.You don’t get that type of social analytics with email!
