Great Eight Countdown -- #4!

Microsoft launches SharePoint 2010 on May 12. And NewsGator is counting down the weeks with a rundown of SharePoint's new features...plus the "great eight" ways that NewsGator Social Sites goes above and beyond SharePoint 2010 to make your organization truly social. (Truth be told, we've been making SharePoint organizations social for years. Ask 2.1 million NewsGator Social Sites users.)

Here's #4 (remember, we're counting backwards)

Communities
Communities group employees by role or mutual interest for close collaboration. SharePoint 2010 users can browse the enterprise for communities or discover communities by searching on descriptive tags administrators have assigned.

NewsGator Social Sites 2010 communities goes above and beyond SharePoint 2010’s. Important community actions – e.g., adding a document, creating a wiki, voting on an idea – are automatically radiated out to members. Social Sites intelligently recommends communities based on a user’s activities. Automatically generated reports detail community adoption and key activities. Stronger communities = better collaboration = concrete results.

Subscribe to the countdown via e-mail, RSS, or Twitter. Or just come back later in the week for #3. Ask a Social SharePoint 2010 question, and we may feature it in our next post.
