Social Computing Overview
If you missed us at the SharePoint Connections in Amsterdam that was held on the 18th and 19th of January, here is a chance to see our experimental session about the new social computing features that are available in SharePoint 2010.
So to answer the first question “why is it experimental?’, it is because we brought in a server, two laptops, an extra projector and a hub (something you should actually never do when presenting or doing a demo, especially with beta software ;)
First Daniel talks about what Social Computing really is and what all the fuzz is about (which he does rather excellent if I say so myself :)
Then to start the demo.. Daniel writes a blog post and shows us how easy it is to Tag content in 2010..
Next it’s demo time for Mark and me.. Mark is showing the new enhancements of the MySite which features the Network page (which shows all the activities you are following from your colleagues and tags) and the Profile page (and during the demo something funny happens with Mark’s laptop battery ;))..
Then Mark fires up a OneNote book and saves that into his MySite and the ‘experimental’ is about to start, at that moment I join the session and open up Mark’s OneNote using the new Office WebApps to collaborate with each other real-time (with a 8sec delay..)
Hope I got you excited to watch it and see us in action.. if so, then please go to Channel 9 and watch it! ;) Kudos to Matthijs Hoekstra (@mahoekst) from Microsoft for letting us do this experimental demo. Also a huge thanks to the guys responsible for the audio/video who did an excellent job getting all the stuff exactly right (I’d never expected our projector to be captured so good and nice like it did!)
