Beehive, social networking for the enterprise
Comments: 1 - Date: January 24th, 2008 - Categories: In The News, Social Tools, Social Networking, Workplace
I’ve been working for a year now on Beehive, with Werner Geyer, Beth Brownholtz, and Casey Dugan. We can finally (officially) talk about it outside IBM, starting with Lotusphere, and there has been some buzz generated by that, in the press and the blogosphere:
-
In the press:
- eWeek: IBM`s Social Beehive and Discovery Search
- Business Week: Managing the Global Workforce (This is a more general article about IBM and mentions Beehive at the end as an example of how IBM is dealing with a globally distributed workforce.)
- CIO: IBM Shows Off Social Software for Business
- Judith Hurwitz’s Weblog: Is there a Link Between Social Computing and Business Networks?
- Collaborative Thinking: Lotusphere 2008: IBM Research - Glimpsing The Future
- Lotusphere 2008 - Day 2
And on the blogs:

Very interesting project. The eWeek article reference to project Bluegrass was also interesting - very much akin to Sun’s project Wonderland. I like the idea of social networking in a corporate environment, but I imagine that the target audience would really be the large corporate as opposed to smaller sizes corporates, where large is probably measured in the >5,000 employee range.
