A new era?
Mark W. Kaelin 10th Nov 2011
At CBS Interactive we have an internal directory tool employees use to connect with each other. It's clunky and incomplete.

Could Google+ or some other social media tool be used as a replacement for an internal proprietary system of enterprise communication that goes beyond email? Is this where the future is heading?

In my previous employment we used to have a messaging system in place which was taken down as it was being severely abused.

What I am wondering is if your company allows access to plus.google.com, how can they differentiate social from business communication?

but you can't make him use social networking tools. In particular, you can't ensure the quality of the content entered.

Regular members know I'm a social networking Luddite, but I don't see much in this article that couldn't be accomplished by e-mail. The individual profiles, but that's about it.

I hope someone will post 'real world' examples of effectively using tools Google+ or the social aspects of Sharepoint. By 'real world', I don't mean software companies, organizations that specialize in social networking utilization, or academic environments. I'm talking about manufacturers, retailers, electric co-ops, freight transportation, state and local governments, and hospitals. I'm talking about places where people are expected to complete certain tasks on a regular schedule, and have to worry about competition or compliance with federal confidentiality regulations.
