"Social" Office

the_Grinch

So when I started with the University they have been using Salesforce. Now I had heard about Chatter prior and thought, Facebook for the office yeah that sounds dumb. But being here for 5 months, I actually like it. I don't post a whole lot because let's face it, nobody cares that I moved some PCs or removed malware from a machine. But it is really nice to see what happens on the business end as that is something I find is usually lost on IT Departments.

Everyone

I mentioned in another thread, that we have an internal social networking site where I work too. I don't think whatever it runs on is publicly available though. I don't post much on it either, but I read it every once in a while.

You should put up an IT nerds only one then

We have one buried somewhere here at work as well. I have yet to use it though, seems to be more popular for the workers who are at the offices.

I've been recommending this for some time now. I believe it helps reenforce office unity and that good "team" feeling.

It definitely helps with company unity. As an example, marketing and creative services posted a ton of slogans that they were thinking about using and people could comment/like the ones they enjoyed. Normally, an IT person or someone outside of marketing wouldn't have seen it till it was on a billboard or online. Also, as I said, it's nice to see the business end and goals they are attempting to reach. As far as IT is concerned, we've posted some help documents or assisted people who saw something cool in Chatter and wanted to be able to do that as well. Obviously, there are people who use it to kiss some butt and also I do see it as a tool to monitor what you're doing, but I like it so far.
