@GoCollaboration Aggregates Collaboration Blogs on Twitter

Micro-blogging is transforming how people connect and disseminate information. The most prevalent micro-blogging service is Twitter, but there are many other services that are focusing on micro-blogging within enterprises. Typically, a micro-blog is a sentence or two plus sometimes a link to a blog or other content.

 

Sensing that micro-blogging has the potential to create value internally and externally, many companies are adopting the medium. Internally, micro-blogging can provide project, function, and subject updates throughout the day plus encourage DM, which is Twitter talk for “direct message” or private message exchange. Micro-blogging is another tool that may potentially enhance collaboration among colleagues. Externally, micro-blogging can enhance brands and create viral adoption of products and services.

 

Micro-blogging can also be used to aggregate content from multiple blogs and sources. Considering that other bloggers have compelling thoughts and ideas about collaboration and realizing the potential for one-stop-shopping for collaboration blogs, Joe Solomon and I created @GoCollaboration on Twitter. I’ve worked with Joe on numerous projects, and he’s a collaborator extraordinaire.

 

@GoCollaboration includes more than thirty collaboration blogs including The Culture of CollaborationÒ.  We’re aggregating everything from the Wikinomics blog and the Learning to Collaborate blog to the Cisco collaboration blog and the Intuit QuickBase blog. @GoCollaboration also includes blogs that are focused on key components of collaboration like Keith Sawyer’s informative Creativity and Innovation blog and the Enterprise 2.0 blog. Besides aggregating this and other blogs, I’m also including my own tweets and conversation on @GoCollaboration.

 

If you have suggestions for non-technical collaboration blogs we should include on @GoCollaboration, let me know.

I once started to follow @GoCollaboration because I quite liked the content of the articles announced. But then I stopped when I realized that the flood of notifications was drowning the interpersonal communication that is the essential attraction of microblogging from my point of view. Instead of a microblogging feed, would not an aggreagated feed Atom or RSS feed of the blog feeds be more relevant ? From a reader point of view it would have much more value as we could use it in many more way.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Jean-Marc. The purpose of @GoCollaboration is to provide a blend of blogs on collaboration plus interpersonal exchange. We're still working on achieving the right balance. Regarding feeds, it's possible to grab the RSS feed from Twitter. Evan

Isnt it amazing how micro blogging has changed the way companies work?

David Plouffe’s,( President Barack Obama’s point man on social media) innovative strategy not only got Obama elected but also managed to raise the largest amount of campaign funding in election history.
At the IMD OWP 2010 , David Plouffe will share his insights on the historic Obama campaign while framing it in the context of how Obama's leadership is shaping the United States and the world today. Weaving in his own experience managing and leading the campaign that propelled Obama into the White House, Plouffe will share: the stories behind the campaign and current strategic issues facing the administration; the importance of strategy in managing campaigns, public policy initiatives and crises; how Obama is still garnering support from the movement created during the campaign.
