What is Social Software? — and why does it make sense in a business context?

Jakob Nielsen, Web usability guru Web usability fundamentalist Grumpy old fart

But what do people really use the web for?

They develop open source software; train together; show pictures and video to each other; share bookmarks; filter the good from the bad; create the largest encyclopedia in history; contribute to travel and city guides; recommend books and music; find partners and one-night-stands; meet in virtual worlds; display their stamp collections; have conversations; write books collectively; help each other finding the good bargains; search for intelligent life in universe; points out the most interesting stories to others; produce news stories; meet in the wine club; design t-shirts; play games; watch television together; find new jobs or recruit others; stays in touch with family and friends; finds long lost friends; raise support for political campaigns

That's not the point

The point is...

People expect companies to be part of the party
