Tune in by tuning out: Mute Activity Stream Email Notifications

The information age mantra seems always to be: “more! faster!” In a social enterprise, activity streams are a prime example. They can get loud…fast – and there’s no dial to turn it down.  While volume and speed have their place, increasingly the real value in information is found in managing it - being able to tune in to what’s really important while filtering out the noise. Not everything requires a comment. Sometimes a glance is enough to give you what you need and you don’t need to be included in every contribution that follows. 

NewsGator Social Sites is making it easier to hone your social experience by applying intelligent routing and muting email notifications. Being able to fine-tune the activity stream silences the white noise, making it easier to stay focused on relevant content at the right time. Just click the “mute” link in your email notification to opt-out from receiving further notifications on a particular thread. Worried you might miss something?  When another user specifically @targets you, you automatically re-subscribe to the conversation and begin receiving notifications again.

Smart, relevant social interaction is sometimes as easy as clicking “mute.”  To learn more about how Social Sites is boosting company productivity and engagement globally, please visit www.newsgator.com.
