One of my last tasks at VYRE was to produce a White Paper on applying social web patterns behind the firewall. I touch on social web authoring patterns, social web elements and polish it off with some relevant case studies.

It is an ongoing crusade which was the basis for my talk at IceWeb and can be summarised with this paragraph:

Raise your hand if your company IP is largely kept in spreadsheets and word documents on shared drives or in the black hole which is the Email server. This is the case for most companies and the only way to get work done is to find the person that can navigate the file vault or to have a meeting to tackle an issue that has been solved a number of times before.

You need to jump through a form to get the download link. You can also check out the slides from Iceweb, but they won’t make much sense without my notes. The IBM dude is cool though.
