Get social with Open Port

Posted by Intel_Mike Jun 30, 2009

With the popularity of social networking tools becoming more widely used, we've made the decision to expand the Open Port presence in an attempt to not only keep up with what's happening and where people are hanging out but also to connect the members of the Open Port community with each other in new and engaging ways.

 

That's why we've started a number of social media profiles to connect with interesting people and distribute Open Port content where they are, hopefully prompting them to come back here to Open Port and further engage in the conversation.

We hope these profiles will be useful to all of you. Those sites and networks have a ton to offer in the way of two-way conversation, which is why we're using them.

 

If you're an Open Port community member and are on those networks we'd encourage you to share your profile in the discussion forums so that not only can we connect with you but so that other members of the community can find you there as well.

 

 

thanks

Puneet Gupta, CEO of ConnectBeam discusses his social bookmarking network appliance.

 

This is a pretty cool thing. Robert Scoble from Podtech has been discussing this idea as something called Starfish, where a persons contributions to blogs, wiki entries, Facebook, Twitter, etc, can be aggregated in a way that puts the content and search in context to the author.

 

ConnectBeam has created something similar in a turnkey appliance, allowing the users to bookmark, tag and attribute the source author as a tag, so you have a LinkedIn like connection between the content and the contributor.

 

From an enterprise perspective, this seems pretty handy and a simple way to add social media tools to your business. Because it uses bookmarkng and tagging, it's not necessary to integrate search across your systems, as long asyou get bookmarking adoption. Also you get to see how employees are contributing to content.

 

Check out ConnectBeam.
