Network Hippo blip on TechCrunch

The site, which has been in private beta mode, is trying to simplify and optimize the way users organize their contacts across multiple social networks. Network Hippo synchs up with platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Gmail and Twitter, allowing users to aggregate all contact data and organize friends within customizable groups.

Salesforce Chatter Gets Its Own App Marketplace: ChatterExchange

While Chatter looks and feels like a social network, Benioff has been fairly adamant that Chatter is best characterized as a collaboration platform, not a social network. In fact, Salesforce doesn’t see its main competitors as Facebook, Twitter or even enterprise friendly social networks like Jive or Bantam Live.

Instead, the company believes Chatter will pose a serious threat to Microsoft’s Sharepoint and IBM’s LotusNotes.

Reading Through Some Of CubeTree's new stuff

CubeTree
New features released
Summary of all features and functionality added to CubeTree in March

Hello

 George,
This is an update on the new features and functionality that we have delivered to you in March and haven't yet given you the details on. As you may know we deliver a new release to you each week at CubeTree. This is a summary of what we've added over the past month. Going forward look for more frequent updates more closely associated with our weekly Thursday releases.

Finding Information 

Search Option ScreenshotSearch capabilities have been improved for all document and group list pages, as well as the Company directory. We have added filters, like name searches and the ability to sort by columns. In addition:

  • Group search now enables you to find groups where members include a user that you specify (and we have added the ability to stop following groups from the list page)
  • Document search includes a file type filter
  • Directory supports user status (active, unaccepted invites, alumni and all)

Group Admin Privilege Request
 

Admin Privilege Request ScreenshotEver found yourself needing to invite users to a private internal or cross company group or perform other Group Admin functions, but were not able to because you were not an Admin?

To assist, CubeTree has added the ability for members to request admin privileges on the left nav on the Group’s Wall.

If you are not already an Admin, you can click this button and a group admin request Inbox item will be sent to each of the Group’s Admins. One of the Group Admins can then Grant or Reject your request. After one Group Admin has taken action, the other Group Admins will have the Inbox item removed. 
  
Additional Home Page Functionality 

We have added a few new feeds to your Home page to help you find important feed items, including: 

  • @user Feed – often times other CubeTree users in your company or in cross company groups will want to raise theurgency of a feed item and direct it to you. They do this by entering a “@” and then using the auto complete feature to find your name. We thought that it would be useful to find these feed items quickly so we added a new feed to the Home tab called @<user name>.
  • Bookmark – users can now choose the action to Bookmark any feed item (My Follows Feed, Group Walls, Profile Wall, @user Feed). They can then access them in the Home > My Bookmarks. Once you have taken action and no longer need the feed item to be bookmarked, you can then choose “Unbookmark” from the feed action list.
  
Wiki Updates 

Several updates have been made to our Wiki editor including: 

  • Tables now have default cell padding and borders, column and row resizing has been improved and we have removed that initial space we had been adding to all cells.
  • Flash elements can now be embedded.
  • If you are the creator of a Wiki page, you now will be following the page by default (choose More > Stop Following in the Wiki toolbar to choose not to follow).
  • We have added the ability to choose who you want to publish your updates to. When you publish a Wiki page, you can now choose to publish a feed item to the Group followers (if applicable) and/or you can choose to publish a feed item to all of your followers.
Admin Delete Privileges 

Site Administrators for Enterprise customers now have the ability to Trash any feed item and any Group that they are members of. Site Administrators and Group Admins can remove a group using the Trash Group left nav tool found on the Group Wall. 
  
Admin Reporting 

Now available for Enterprise customers, CubeTree provides 6 new self-service reports to provide adoption metrics, member activity and user status.  Where applicable, start and end dates can be specified to get data for the time frame that meets your need.

Socializing [Patti Anklam]

One of the things I have come to understand in my work in social network analysis is that being able to make sense of the connections -- the lines among us -- gives us access to questions and insights we might not otherwise have.
