A lot of these enterprise topics also apply to institutions like universities, too. Worth talking across sectors. #osfw3c
"We're asking 'is this social.' WHO CARES?" Exactly. What the hell. Build software that solves problems. #osfw3c
"Collaboration is within a team; social is with people you don't know." But what a team even *is* is changing! #osfw3c
Now discussing / arguing the difference between social and collaboration. I'd argue that both are elements of the other. #osfw3c
I think the #indieweb has a lot of potential to be the basis of that extensible set of standards. http://www.w3.org/2013/socialweb/papers/MVP.html #osfw3c
So we need a simple, federated set of standards that can easily be extended & integrated across a variety of platforms. #osfw3c
Seems like pump.io is well-placed to integrate across software in this sort of platform-centric way. #osfw3c
eg over at <a href="http://latakoo.com/">@latakoo</a>, we're integrating with video editing software, news management systems, etc. #osfw3c
Hearing this over & over again: social needs to be a platform that work with the activities & software already in the enterprise. #osfw3c
The problems in enterprise social in 2013 are identical to the problems in 2006. But people seem to be moving on them now. #osfw3c
"Social needs to be in the tools we already use." Great presentation from Ford. Enterprise social is evolving. #osfw3c
"We think that's needed going forward is a set of web-based content standards." Microformats! http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats-2 #osfw3c
"Simple standards are critical." Please check out http://indiewebcamp.com/ #osfw3c
Hearing <a href="http://twitter.com/eric_meeks">@eric_meeks</a> from UCSF Medical talking about needing federated social. My mom is literally there right now. Want to help. #osfw3c
Important question about BYOD from <a href="http://twitter.com/natematias">@natematias</a>: if enterprises require it, will they subsidize devices? #osfw3c
90% of organizations will *require* BYOD by 2020, according to Gartner. I think that's a relief: much less of an IT bottleneck. #osfw3c
Something we talk about at <a href="http://latakoo.com">@latakoo</a>: federated social platforms sitting in different divisions of an enterprise. #osfw3c
On RSS: "We never had anybody call us up and ask, 'hey, can we get a SOAP feed?'" If they ever do, call an exorcist. #osfw3c
"IRC is really an important tool for participating in the W3C." #osfw3c
"We really want to come out of this workshop with a unified W3C social strategy [...] that really captures what people want." #osfw3c
Introduction from OpenSocial, which has shifted into a social component platform for enterprise. It's like an old friend! http://opensocial.org/ #osfw3c
I'll be high volume through Thurs. #osfw3c is the W3C Workshop on Social Standards: The Future of Business. http://www.w3.org/2013/socialweb/Overview.html
Up early to head over to the city for #osfw3c. Looking forward to trading ideas about social for business.
