NewsGator Launches New ‘Everyday Enterprise 2.0’ Blog

By Melissa Risteff, November 03, 2009

Today NewsGator launched a new blog -- called "Everyday Enterprise 2.0."  Because Enterprise 2.0 is often derided as a buzzword enveloped in ivory-tower abstractions that confuse as much as enlighten, NewsGator today launched a new blog from the trenches of Enterprise 2.0 – yes, there are trenches – called “Everyday Enterprise 2.0,” authored by Christy Schoon, the company’s director of Enterprise 2.0 consulting. Read it at http://blogs.newsgator.com/everyday_enterprise_20/.


As Christy explains, “I work with real businesses every day that use Enterprise 2.0 to generate concrete results. My customers don’t want to argue about what Enterprise 2.0 is, whether it’s the right term, or whether it even exists. They want to know how other companies have succeeded, what they themselves can do to achieve the same benefits, and most importantly, how to do it. So I’m going to write in plain English about everyday Enterprise 2.0 from my own on-the-ground perspective working with living, breathing social computing champions at Fortune 500 companies.”

While Everyday Enterprise 2.0’s first and second posts are: “Why this blog?” and “Pimp my site," upcoming posts will focus on:
  • Training 2.0
  • Proofs of concept 
  • Insights from the upcoming Enterprise 2.0 Conference 
  • Community manager preparation 
  • The notion of "adoption for adoption's sake"  
  • ...and more  
Christy tells us she also welcomes comments and links to other practical resources so that the blog can become a community for sharing real-world enterprise social computing experiences among peers.
