the intranet’s killer app
Here are the slides from my sxsw presentation (slides: social networking: the intranet’s killer app). They’re pretty terse by design mostly consisting of an image or a sentence or two per slide. So why is social networking the killer app for an intranet? Nutshell in one sentence, it provides a way for individuals to discover information leveraging their social connections in a way that is natural, scalable, and integrated into their day-to-day, giving people tools they can’t work without.
I spent 20 minutes on the slides, 20 minutes in a demo showing how we use this technology on our intranet at work, and the remainder of time having an open q&a primarily on our real-world usage. The questions were great, when i get a second i’ll update this post with them. Thanks to everyone who made it.

mix08, socialnetworking, sxsw
March conferences
First up, MIX08 (March 05 – 07 in Las Vegas NV). I was excited to see a three-day user experience track added to the schedule. Most likely where I’ll spend my time:
Through unique content delivered by user experience thought-leaders, MIX UX broadens the content choices for designers and creative professionals to include broad and relevant UX topics that are not specifically related to Microsoft @ visitmix
Then off to speak at SXSW08 Interactive (March 07 – 11 in Austin TX) on social networking on an intranet and its usefulness within a business community, March 9, 2008 in Austin TX. No slides yet, I’ll post them when they’re available. Session starts Sunday @ 5:00 PM.
