Name the first things that pop into your head when you think of Facebook. Finding old friends, maybe? Sharing pictures? Sending promotional messages through a fan page? Privacy issues?

What about internal communication? For some industry pros, Facebook’s private groups feature has proven useful.

“Everyone knows Facebook,” says Arik Hanson of ACH Communications. “They know how to use the tools; they know how it operates.”

A lot of things happened in the social collaboration space during 2010, several of which have created ripple effects to be seen in 2011 and beyond. This article discusses three stand-out Social Collaboration trends.

For me, one of the most obvious ways to make an enterprise more responsive, innovative and agile is to integrate and shrink the enterprise by tying the employees, customers and partners closer together. Technology has a key role to play because it helps us overcome the barriers of time and space.

Later this month, IBM is releasing the next version of its social collaboration product, Lotus Connections.

When it was first launched in June 2007, Connections provided a sort of electric shock for the enterprise collaboration software market, showing that an industry giant can indeed be innovative and market defining, and of course in the three years that have followed we have seen the social collaboration market explode around it with small, medium and large players keen to get in on the action.

With its combination of communities, social networking and task-based activities, as well as a host of supporting social capabilities, Lotus Connections is unusual in that it spans both the people-centric, social side of collaboration and the (currently less fashionable, and yet perhaps more valuable from a business justification viewpoint) project-centric side which is more commonly associated with document-focused team workspaces.

“In der Veränderung der Arbeitswelt setzt sich nur ein Prozess fort, der in der Renaissance seinen Anfang nahm, in der Aufklärung zur Blüte kam, in der Moderne kritisiert wurde und heute als Fakt akzeptiert ist: die zunehmende Individualisierung der Gesellschaft”.
