Newsgator_socialsites_reporting_das The development team at NewsGator has been hard at work – they just completed a new release of Social Sites. 

Launched today, Social Sites 2.5 enhances Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007’s enterprise social computing capabilities with new analytics, search resources, activity streaming features and more.

NewsGator Social Sites lets you activate a “Facebook for the Enterprise” that delivers measurable business results and gives you powerful new ways to work smarter and solve business problems faster.

New Product Features Include:

  • Integrated activity streams for an easy view of colleagues’ activity within SharePoint (documents, tags, communities, etc.) and outside of SharePoint (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.)
  • Improved search to ease the discovery of communities, people, content, and tags
  • Extensive reporting for valuable insight into the business benefits provided by enterprise RSS and social networking
  • A Profile Builder/On-Boarding Wizard that shortens a new user’s or new employee’s “time to productivity”
  • Enhanced discussions, content ratings, and tagging for better collaboration and knowledge sharing
