More and more of our personal relationships include an online element. The social web is changing the way we communicate and collaborate and also how consumers and brands interact. Implications of who you were in these different situations didn’t really have effects on your different spheresCompanies need to embrace this change, understand the expectations, and participate respectfully to benefit from the opportunities that these global conversations offer.Likewise, every employee that chooses to participate in social media related to their work shares this responsibility.

Mckinsey released a white paper called “Six Ways to Make the web work”It was about the factors that allow for successful integration of web 2.0 practices in large companiesMost interesting aspect of this white paper for me- authors explanation of why adapting to a web 2.0 environment is particularly challenging for large companie-Technological adoption precedes physiological/social adoptionIn contrast to technologies and tools such as ERP, and CRM, whose implementation required lengthy technical implementations, time and planning—and because of their very nature were incorporated into the companies workflow—business processes were aligned around them not vice versaCompany was “prepped” for the incorporation of new technologyIn contrast, Web 2.0 tools are easy to implement (blogs, wiki’s forums, twitter feeds) – use of technology can become widespread before organizations have a strategy for how to incorporate them. OR they could be implemented but not used.Therefore it’s important to implement social media in a way that it can be understood and adopted
Nokia’s internal blogBest rated and most comment on posts from the last two months (left side)Profile page with customized RSS feedsTop Commenter's listTags and Tag searchLink to existing posts from your post to draw attention to other bloggersbut you can find people from the Top Commenters list.When you are more interested in what people say about a particular topi (e.g. Ovi), you can take advantage of tags. Search the list of all tags to find all blog posts labeled with a particular topic.How do I get my message through?If you have your own blog, it's good to follow up in BlogHub if other people already talk about the topic so you can write your posts from a new point of view. You can also link to existing posts with your posts and draw attention of the other bloggers.You can also contact bloggers who have good reputation and provide them more information on the topic, which they can then write about. Or directly comment to their posts providing more information in your comments.Do you have good experiences?If you have gotten your work done better because of BlogHub, please let us know. We would be honored to hear your experiences.The easiest way to enter BlogHub is through the "Video & blog highlights" channel in the intranet portal, which also links to recommended blog posts and videos.The tagline that I've been thinking about is "Where opinions come together". That sums up what we're doing: aggregating opinions from around the company in one place so that they can contribute to our common targets more effectively than on their own.Regarding VideoHub, there have been some campaigns where employees can contribute their own stuff, but I don't think that's the main intent. (However, Johanna Komonen has organized video-production trainings for some employees around the world in conjunction with Values Makes a Difference.) Perhaps more importantly it's a place to host videos so that they can be embedded elsewhere (e.g. NewsHub, intranet pages, blogs). This reduces load on other servers, improves the visitor experience, and gives you statistics and commenting capabilities.

Social media is hard to place within an organizationIs it a communications function? A marketing function? A sales function?YESSuccessful utilization of social media involves cross functional collaboration.For example, an event supplemented with a twitter feed, or a marketing campaign that involves a social networking site have much more impact than each of these activities executed in a functional vacuum
