Looks like IBM is doing some
interesting experiments with RSS on their Intranet [via
Corporate Blogging].
We have been promoting a blog/rss based
tool
for almost two years now and it's amazing how big companies are still
the leading market. Since in most cases we are talking about small,
cheap and easy to use tools you would have expected SME to jump on
board pretty quickly, but at least so far they haven't.
Also if it's true that SME generally don't have a knowledge management
& sharing culture, they do have a lot to gain by embracing social
software both for internal and external communication.
We developed our first scenario based on large number of small
companies building value syndicating content to aggregators back in
1999 (back then it this scenario was called "Evectors", because I kept
drawing a lot of vectors while explaining the concept, while the name
of the company was still StudioIdea), 6 years and a lot of tools later
we are still waiting to see it happen.
