That's a fair point, Wendy. But I can't help believing that humans are essentially social creations (otherwise we'd all be living off the grid in the backwoods somewhere). As social creations, there are ways of being with each other that foster collaboration and sharing. However, the old-fashioned ways of facilitating these natural behaviors don't scale. Introducing social media tools with few if any constraints can help people continue to be social — but across time zones and cultures.

A colleague of mine once told me that “technology makes the things you’re already doing go faster”. So, if your organization is already inclined to work collaboratively, to share workproduct and insight, then bringing social media in will help. If they aren’t so inclined, you have a different task before you. Then you can think about automating it. The platform isn’t going to help if the behaviour isn’t present.

To be fair, I don’t doubt that Jason Harris has a great deal of confidence in his product. And, if he had simply said he wanted to talk about how SharePoint could be useful as a tool, I wouldn’t have an issue at all. The problem is when SharePoint is repackaged as the social media solution to beat all others. If Microsoft continues to partner with companies that really do understand social computing and provide apps with excellent functionality, SharePoint may become a great social media tool — 5 years from now. However, it can’t honestly claim that title today.

As for the SharePoint coffee, I wouldn’t drink it. Would you?

Mary,

I would be grateful if you would share a post or slideshare from your upcoming legal session. I would like to introduce your work to a KM group.

Very interesting catch on this. Is this somewhat like using the word you are defining in the definition?

Hah… SharePoint is a hot marketing term and many in the tech industry seem to be thinking it slices, dices, and makes your coffee for you too!

While this is obviously an exaggeration, I do think SharePoint will help savvy technologists and social media evangelists alike the opportunity to increase their sphere of exposure in the enterprise.
