I don’t understand the inclusion of “personal” blogs & the whole “social” emphisis that forms part of the 6 pillars of SharePoint 2010/2013. I can’t see a business need or use for this aspect of SharePoint, can anyone else see a good busniess argument for this function in SharePoint?
I ask from a position of having to look at SharePoint being used in SME’s rather thna big muti-national corps.
I simply can’t see a business case for it, especially when many businesess discourage “social networking” in the workplace.
I actually assisted to a great “User Group” meeting in Quebec, we call it SharePoint Breakfast, since it’s in the mornings :). The nice part about those Breakfasts (aside from the part that the food is good), is that they aren’t presenting anything technical, only Business Cases.
Back to the subject, Blogs:
They are a big national company that recently bought a few others, and seen their numbers triple in 2 years. Problem is, the new companies had to get used to SharePoint. The IT team created a blog where they posted “SharePoint Tricks” 2-3 times per week only internal to the company.
