Deciding what to measure • Avoid false metrics • Number of people signed up (you aren’t in this for advertising) • The number of blogs posted • Look for system level measures • Effective use on major projects • Reduction in e-mail (generally, on specific topics, corporate noise) • Range of adoption (departments, topics) • Does a new policy or idea get adopted easier. Can you track the spread? • Search metrics: fewer similar queries=right information faster • Number of connections per user • Cross posting of blogs, subscriptions to RSS and other feeds • Avg. number of participants with Wikis (also look at distribution – Wikis with most participants vs. universe of wikis)

Gartner MQ Social Software 12/2009 “Microsoft offers a broad set of capabilities that combine structured collaboration with core Social Computing capabilities” • Blogs • Wikis, • Podcasting • Discussion groups • ”people search Integration with desktop office applications and related offerings such as: • Productivity tools • Leading e-mail server • Unified Communications suite • "mixed-mode“ cloud deployments
