Editor's Notes

  1. Used under creative commons: http://www.flickr.com/photos/upyernoz/2149312640/ Recording and sharing information is not new. People have been doing it since the start of time. Passing down stories, recording histories. The original methods were difficult, time consuming, and did not reach many people. What has changed are the tools to create and edit, and the audience reach of the information. Slow. Difficult. No room for error. No edits. From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodblock_printing The use of round "cylinder seals" for rolling an impress onto clay tablets goes back to early Mesopotamian civilization before 3,000 BCE Woodblock printing 200 CE Movable type 1040 Printing press 1439
  2. Image used under creative commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Metal_movable_type.jpg Modern tools allows mass production and distribution of information. Movable Type and Printing Press Johannes Gutenberg - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Gutenberg Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (c. 1398 – February 3, 1468) was a German goldsmith and printer who is credited with being the first European to use movable type printing, in around 1439, and the global inventor of the mechanical printing press. in 1999, the A&E Network ranked Gutenberg #1 on their "People of the Millennium" countdown, and in 1997, Time–Life magazine picked Gutenberg's invention as the most important of the second millennium
  3. Used under create commons: http://www.flickr.com/photos/seychelles88/361468916/ Tools like the typewriter brought the creation of content to the individual level.
  4. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mbg_photos/2243112618/ However, at this point things were are still too solo, too individual. Hard to edit, update Essentially… little collaboration
  5. Photo attribution: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cayusa/2051756510/ The PC, software, and the web enable people to share
  6. Personal - New tools enabled you to automate the creation of content. Spreadsheets replaced calculators, word processors = typewriters, and presentations=overhead foils. Targets – all of the new content was shared, but at defined recipients. We live by the “To and cc”. Chats are directed at the person you want to speak with. Open – everyone benefits. Everyone has access. Company has a memory. Twitter is IM inside out.
  7. CC attribution: http://www.flickr.com/photos/druclimb/370334116/
  8. Everyone is talking about 2.0. Web 2.0. Business 2.0. Blogs. Wikis. social networks. What are all of these things? What do they mean to you, and your business?
  9. It is about people. They have names. You can not think of them as numbers, nor metrics, nor revenue streams.

  25. To get started with Socialtext, you need to decide on 3-5 lead use cases which your company will pursue in your initial implementation. We recommend a mix of company-wide and group-specific use cases. Company-wide use cases deliver a broad exposure within your company, while group-specific use cases generate deep business value.
  26. Successful implementation is typically driven by a core group of energetic champions committed to making their company more open, efficient, and effective. You should look for these individuals to help drive adoption within your company. Ideally, there will be at least one champion helping to drive each use case.
  27. Your colleagues will find Socialtext intuitive and easy to use…once they try it. Successful champions introduce Socialtext in hands-on ways that encourage colleagues to get their “feet wet” immediately. Road shows, lunch-and-learns, and other live presentations are a great way to introduce your company to Socialtext,
  28. Socialtext shines when companies use it to make everyday work processes more collaborative and social. To show your company the power of Socialtext, you and your champions should route repeated activities through Socialtext. Here are some of the most effective ways that other companies have done this:
  29. Socialtext delivers more value the more tightly it is integrated into the daily flow of work. You should facilitate this by making sure that Socialtext integrates effectively with other systems that your company already uses for core business activities.
  30. The best ideas come from the many thousands of people around the world who use Socialtext every day. We have an active community of users posting new ideas, questions, tips, practices, techniques, and templates. Come join our community at www.socialtext.net/exchange.
