Stowe on Social Tools
Posted by Ross Mayfield
Our Corante neighbor
Stowe Boyd's latest Darwin collumn is on
The State of Social Tools. In it, he lays out his four Co's:
Communication: instant messaging, e-mail, Web conferencing, streaming video and voice tools, and other messaging solutions
Coordination: calendaring, task and project management, contact management, and related technologies
Collaboration: file and application sharing, discussion, wikis, blogs and other shared-space technologies
Community: social networking, swarmth (digital reputation, also called karma or whuffie), group decision and other explicit community supports.
Note the difference with the old
Lotus Bible on the three C's:
- Communication - rich electronic messaging;
- Collaboration - facilitating a rich, shared, virtual workspace; and
- Coordination - adding the structure of business processes to communication and collaboration, so as to implement an enterprise's policies.
