How Intranets can Help with Ambient Awareness
Jinfo Article

19th December 2012

Abstract

Sharing small snippets of information about our daily lives and what we're doing has been a key feature of social networking tools for a number of years. More recently, organisations have started to look at how activity streams, status updates and microblogging tools like Yammer, Salesforce and Pulse could be used to surface content and details about individuals. Being aware of what an individual is doing through the use of social networking tools is usually referred to as ambient awareness and intranets have a big role to play in helping to develop this.
