The Internet provides more opportunity than ever before for people to get involved in making the world a better place. It should be - I'm confident it will be - the greatest campaign organizing tool ever created. Yet for many, online engagement in political and social issues has been an infrequent and shallow experience.

I made the point back in July that good old fashioned intranet content publishing was not dead, and that enterprise social collaboration platforms really weren't very good for one to many publishing. A separate web publishing platform would probably still be needed — use the right tool for the right job. As a result of that article, Jive Software asked to have a chat about my theory, to refresh my knowledge of its platform and demo some of the latest features. I always jump at the chance to be proven wrong, and so have had some interesting conversations with Adam Mertz, senior director of product marketing at Jive.

A question I hear often after any presentation about the implementation of a social networking platform at the workplace is: what advice can you give to companies starting their journey now, or willing to reboot their strategy? Well, my first suggestion is that you actually ask that question to a wide variety of practitioners, both successful and not-so-successful, as each experience is unique and not fully repeatable. Having said that, there are a number of items that I do see as key factors that can make a major difference towards a successful rollout. In this series, I’ll be listing a few you may want to consider, no matter if you are at the beginning of your social business odyssey, or in the middle of a pause-rethink-reset strategy. To start the series, I’ll tackle the question: with so many vendors of social platforms around, and all offering similar capabilities at first sight, does it really matter which one you choose?

What Is Wlinkster ? It's tough to keep up with the world wide web when it keeps getting bigger and bigger each day. Wouldn't it be great if someone organized the web into topics you care about? We thought so too, so we created Wlinkster . Wlinkster is the one-stop destination for real people with real passions to find real content and community. Remember when the web was small enough that you could look at a directory of the best sites on the web for a certain area of interest? We missed those days, but felt like the community should be the editors who contribute and decide what the best content on the web for a given topic should be. We like to think of Wlinkster as the next generation of ing created for the Peoples by the Peoples. We wanted to make discovering and sharing content fun, easy and social. Wlinkster is a network of user-generated fan clubs for different topics of interest created and maintained by the community of fans. Each fan club has a bunch of really cool features that empower the fans to share and discover content and interact with each other.

It's often claimed that everyone's incentives need to be the same in any successful system. However, no communities or individuals are identical. Instead, our experience has taught us that users have wildly differing incentives and motivations.

The list of reasons why a business might shy away from using social media is long and varied, and may very well include one or more of the following:
