Social & Communication Functions

Implementing social functions found on popular networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as additional features, into collaborative software yeilds a more efficient, useful, fun, friendly, and resourceful solution.

Many businesses already use public social websites for more effective communication, but there are many costs and risks of using publicly-accessible services. Utilizing the social functions available in this software allows you to enjoy the same, if not better, experience in a secure, private environment. Having these social features tied directly into your business data creates an even more effective intranet.

User Statuses

Each user can issue themselves a brief status message. This message lets other users know what they are currently working on, where they are, or anything else that might reflect their current status. Now you can quickly see what everyone in the office is up to with the click of a button.

User Profiles

Similar to profiles found on popular social networking websites, like Facebook, each user has a profile which contains personal information, contact information, a picture, the user's recent content and activity, and much more.

Private Messaging

Private messaging provides an email-like system which users can utilize to message each in a private manner. Private messages can also be sent to multiple users at a time to create a group conversation.

Micro Messaging

The "shoutbox" provides a micro-messaging platform in a chatroom-like manner which everyone can participate in to broadcast a quick message, share an interesting idea or link, or anything at all. The shoutbox updates in real-time to enable fast, collaborative messaging.

Commenting

All content items, tasks, events, files, resources, etc, can be commented on by users, the same way you comment on articles on your favorite web site. This leads to easier collaboration and social involvement.

Blogging

A shared blog is made available for all users to contribute to. The blog can be used for sharing general thoughts and ideas, starting discussions, brainstorming, or anything you deem useful.

Polling

Users can create polls which other users can then cast their vote on. This social feature allows users to easily gauge all of the other users opinions on a given topic.

Activity Streams

All user activity is conveniently recorded and made available in streams to allow you to catch up on activity that took place since your last login. You can also visit a users profile to view their personal activity stream. Each user can choose to opt-out of activity recording.

RSS Feed Reader

Built in is an easy-to-use RSS feed reader for pulling in external news feeds. Use the software to keep you and your team up-to-date with as many news sources as you'd like.
