How to Use Social Media & Web 2.0 for Collaboration

Happy Fav Five Friday!

Social Media & Web 2.0 Tools for Collaboration

You may be aware of the trends about “doing more with less”, especially during these tough economic times.  We are also becoming more involved with keeping our planet healthy.  More people and organizations are adopting “green technology”.  More people are working from home and more organizations are moving towards dispersed work environments.  This is a “Win Win Win” trend that supports healthy lifestyles, lower costs, and a greener planet.  More meetings can be done in virtual environments, which leads to less travel, saves time, and reduces our ecological footprint.  More productivity can take place in these virtual environments for the same reasons.  Most work-product and communications can be captured in a centralized location other than our inboxes.  Processes and Products will improve through Collective Intelligence and Crowd Sourcing.

The Business Value of Web 2.0 for Governments & Organizations

Organizations and individuals are involved with Web 2.0 and Social Media for different reasons at different times.  These tools can be used as communication channels to support brand awareness, customer communications, collaboration, staying in touch with mom, and countless other needs.  Web 2.0 is not just for collaboration or marketing, it’s a part of our culture.

Open Source: Social Media, Web, Government, & US 2.0 #oscon

Mobile Enterprise 2.0 and Social Media growth explosion happens because of Crowd Sourcing and Open Source. The world is changing and we have great opportunities in front of us. The Web 2.0 and Government 2.0 movement is taking us into new frontiers where we will explore fresh new ways of communication and collaboration. There have been many things going on this week that has me thinking more about the internet as an operating system. Open Source: “Some of the best things in life are free”. While the value of open source is recognized by more private companies and government agencies, I am wondering more about the future of open source. Here are a few videos I hope you share with your friends.

Happy Fav Five Friday!

“Rebuilding the World” by Don Tapscott

The global economic crisis is a wakeup call to the world: we need to rethink and rebuild many of the organizations and institutions that have served us well for decades, but now have come to the end of their life cycle. The financial services industry, for example, does not just need fresh infusion of capital or some new regulations; it needs a whole new operating model — one based on transparency, sharing of intellectual property and global governance.

Two Twitters? Can Someone Explain This?

Twitter Tweets During Jon and Kate Plus 8

Verizon Fios Twitter Widget Displays Tweets on TV During Shows

twitterontv_20090716

This is a picture of my TV with the Fios Twitter Widget on during Jon and Kate plus 8.

Notice the Tweets on the right.  I assume the names to the right of the profile images are twitter account names.

The idea of Twitter on Your TV

“will be able to see tweets from the entire Twitter community based on either a category or topic they’ve selected or based upon what they’re currently watching on TV” Read the full story.

The third Twitter account in the picture above looks like @shelle

Why are these Twitter Accounts so different?

Is there more than one Twitter?

Are the Verizon Fios Twitter Widget Tweets Fake?

Maybe the widget tweets are just a “proof of concept”.

I am kind of slow at understanding some things.  Can you explain?
