Oracle recently acquired Vitrue for $300 million and Salesforce.com acquired Buddy Media for $800 million. These acquisitions address the first phases of integrating social media into enterprises by allowing outbound social media campaigns. However, they still lack the ability to analyze social data and integrate it into existing customer applications. Buzzient addresses this need by providing social media integration and analytics capabilities to complement the acquired companies' outbound social marketing functions. The author predicts continued acquisition activity in this area along with the emergence of independent social media integration providers and an expansion of social CRM to other business applications and platforms.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

In looking at these two acquisitions though, it’s important to realize how early we really are in the social

given the heterogeneous nature of complex Fortune 5000 technology infrastructures, there will always be a

Social CRM and the Enterprise
So, where does this all go? I predict the following:

- Continued M&A by enterprise software companies to tightly couple a social monitoring capability to their Oracle CRM Blog Paul Greenberg CRM
app stacks. Social media monitoring is basic table stakes now, like browser accessibility was in 1996.
Web Strategy by Jeremiah Xenophon Strategies
- Emergence of a handful of social media integration independents, who take monitoring to the next level
and enable full social CRM integration. (Buzzient is already one of them)
- Extension of social CRM to other app categories (ERP, HCM). (Buzzient has already done this with Infor
Workspace, for example)
