Organizations deploying RSS as core strategy are taking an important step toward abstracting the information being distributed from the device upon which it must be consumed.\u00c2\u00a0 This opens a new set of opportunities to intelligently route and consume information based on user, context and other factors. \u00c2\u00a0<br>\u00c2\u00a0<br>A managed RSS framework also improves the usability of the new crop of collaborative communication tools such as blogs, wiki's and community portals.\u00c2\u00a0 Without tools to intelligently route and manage the information that these social applications generate organizations must examine whether they are making the problem better or worse. \u00c2\u00a0 We use the term \"social scaling\" to describe this phenomenon. \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0<br>\u00c2\u00a0<br>Within these emerging models direct user-publishing is also a powerful concept. \u00c2\u00a0 Common topics of interaction can be RSS based channels and members of groups can publish directly to those channels.\u00c2\u00a0 These channels can either be feeds themselves residing only on the RSS infrastructure or they can be destinations such as blogs, wiki's or community portals. \u00c2\u00a0 As a result the information is contextual, easy to consume and collaborate around.\u00c2\u00a0<br>\u00c2\u00a0<br>As an example, within our own environment I was able to repost your abstract to our collaboration portal with two clicks and in seconds it was syndicated across our organization through the RSS feed generated by that portal - no email involved.<br>\u00c2\u00a0<br>Examples of managed publish-subscribe networks within organizations are showing great promise to reduce our reliance on email and improve the efficiency of collaborative transactions. \u00c2\u00a0We will start posting some of these cases <a href=\"http://at%C3%82%C2%A0%C3%82%C2%A0www.attensa.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">at\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0www.attensa.com</a>.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2008-06-16_17:16:21", "killed": false, "user_key": "f5e6285a7a1e2f2553db1c3d8af90a31", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "06/16/2008 04:16 PM", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "5487593": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": true, "message": "Yes, my work is internet related and I literally have received hundreds of emails per day.

I'm now telling and educating my colleagues to use Instant Messaging or to use Twitter, to use a wiki and to use RSS for all kind of things. The problem is, email is a push medium (and a formal accepted medium of communication). Other tools and technologies are all pull based. It's hard to convince my colleagues and to change this behavior because people are used to email as the primary online communication platform. On the other hand it's even harder to convince clients to reduce email. Portals, collaboration tools and technologies, they all need to have a low entry and need to be fast. You told us about email 9times problem, besides that email is the one source where we gather all our information of all those networks, tools and technologies. People are in different stages of the Web 2.0/Enterprise 2.0 process, sometimes they choose their own toolset expecting others to use this particular toolset. People are constantly jumping in and outside the firewall search for tools which suits there needs, are sharing this in their particular group hoping someone else adopts this. It's great to see Luis Suarez is succesfull in his mission, email dropped with factor 5.

Almost all employees have been reprimanded in this way at one time or another, so employees use email as a shield to protect themselves, even though 99% of the email he/she sends is unnecessary.

With \"facebook\", you can keep in touch with others who you count as \"friends\", but not necessarily those you would call on the phone on a regular basis.

Hopefully better ways of communications will overtake email as the chief form of correspondence.<br><br>All the above are not taking into account the sheer number of viruses and spams that was filtered off my email accounts and those that managed to sneak through.

This only works, though, if everyone on the project agrees to use the 2.0 project management tools; if the boss still wants everything emailed to her and continues to use email for her updates, Enterprise 2.0 becomes above the flow rather than in it, and so likely increases interruptions rather than decreasing them. "<br><br>I agree with this.  I\'ve been trying to get a project team to use E2.0 tools recently.  It\'s been harder work than I expected.  We\'ve been using Google docs to hold project documentation.  This includes a spreadsheet that is the project plan.  I had to switch to Zoho for the plan, because it became too big to upload to Google Docs. So that made 2 places to look, and 2 applications to learn.  I thought both Google Docs and Zoho would be \'no-brainers\' to get the hang of, but some people found it difficult.   And we\'ve had glitches, both human (eg my forgetting to give the right people access to a document) and technical (a bug in Google preventing editing of access permissions).  <br><br>However, despite all these issues I think we\'ve begun to see some benefits, and no-one has refused to play ball out of our small team of half a dozen or so.  It\'s also been interesting that, some sensitive customer data apart (which was kept off the system) there has not been too much concern about putting the project data onto third party servers.</div>\

Managed RSS provides a single XML syndication framework for the entire organization. A managed RSS system provides the tools to move content onto publish-subscribe channels and away from email on an enterprise wide basis.Â <br>Â <br>Using managed RSS in an enterprise Publish-Subscribe network moves organizations away from the "hunting and gathering" behavior mentioned in the article to a more agrarian-like approach to information management.Â  These networks reduce the burden on email as the backbone of corporate information flow and in the process reorient email to its highest and best use.<br>Â <br>In the interest of transparency I am associated with Attensa an enterprise RSS solutions vendor.Â  Our experience working with large companies shows these publish-subscribe networks are far more effective than relying on individuals to improve their "email etiquette" or restricting email without providing an appropriate alternative.Â <br>Â <br>In a publish-subscribe network, most one-to-many communications and collaborative transactions can be organized into channels.Â  Workflows and alerts can be managed very effectively outside of email.Â  Information flowing from feed enabled portals, both traditional and new community portal forms such as blogs and wiki\'s, can be easily monitored because relevant new information is intelligently distributed to interested subscribers as soon as it is published.<br>Â <br>The user experience is also flexible and superior to email.Â Information arrives organized and in context.Â  Users can choose how, when and where they wish to access andÂ  consume RSS. Managed RSS platforms provide synchronization and common user experience across the various platforms and devices (web, desktop and mobile). Organizations deploying RSS as core strategy are taking an important step toward abstracting the information being distributed from the device upon which it must be consumed.Â  This opens a new set of opportunities to intelligently route and consume information based on user, context and other factors. Â <br>Â <br>A managed RSS framework also improves the usability of the new crop of collaborative communication tools such as blogs, wiki\'s and community portals.Â  Without tools to intelligently route and manage the information that these social applications generate organizations must examine whether they are making the problem better or worse. Â  We use the term "social scaling" to describe this phenomenon. Â  Â <br>Â <br>Within these emerging models direct user-publishing is also a powerful concept. Â  Common topics of interaction can be RSS based channels and members of groups can publish directly to those channels.Â  These channels can either be feeds themselves residing only on the RSS infrastructure or they can be destinations such as blogs, wiki\'s or community portals. Â  As a result the information is contextual, easy to consume and collaborate around.Â <br>Â <br>As an example, within our own environment I was able to repost your abstract to our collaboration portal with two clicks and in seconds it was syndicated across our organization through the RSS feed generated by that portal - no email involved.<br>Â <br>Examples of managed publish-subscribe networks within organizations are showing great promise to reduce our reliance on email and improve the efficiency of collaborative transactions. Â We will start posting some of these cases <a href="http://at%C3%82%C2%A0%C3%82%C2%A0www.attensa.com" rel="nofollow">atÂ Â www.attensa.com</a>.</div>\

It is ironic however that most, if not all, the collaboration software tools depend on much maligned email to notify team members about updates and prod them to participate. <br><br>I suspect that an element of accountability, an email addressed to a person often requires some action, is what irritates many people. Office politics often employs emails as a proof of action or failure to act. <br><br>While on the subject of email interruptions, it has nothing to do with the tools and everything to do with poor time management skills IMHO. I can\'t imagine anything more interrupting than Twitter, but a lot of people love it. The same people who complain about email.</div>\

I\'m now telling and educating my colleagues to use Instant Messaging or to use Twitter, to use a wiki and to use RSS for all kind of things. The problem is, email is a push medium (and a formal accepted medium of communication). Other tools and technologies are all pull based. It\'s hard to convince my colleagues and to change this behavior because people are used to email as the primary online communication platform. On the other hand it\'s even harder to convince clients to reduce email. Portals, collaboration tools and technologies, they all need to have a low entry and need to be fast. You told us about email 9times problem, besides that email is the one source where we gather all our information of all those networks, tools and technologies. People are in different stages of the Web 2.0/Enterprise 2.0 process, sometimes they choose their own toolset expecting others to use this particular toolset. People are constantly jumping in and outside the firewall search for tools which suits there needs, are sharing this in their particular group hoping someone else adopts this. It\'s great to see Luis Suarez is succesfull in his mission, email dropped with factor 5. I tried several plugins in my email client Outlook with 2 goals in mind, managing the e-mail flood and trying to make the e-mail client the single point of communication. I failed.<br>RSS is one part of the solution, management support for choosing the RIGHT communication and collaboration tools is another. People helping (evangelists) is another part of being successful. And the last? We need to get rid of our behavior when it\'s about email. (RSS introduces in my opinion another problem, information overload, the same problem as the e-mail drowning problem)</div>\

In the past two months, I\'ve sent for-your-eyes-only e-mails that have been inappropriately forwarded, I\'ve had people surreptitiously add (or remove) people from the CC line, and of course, I\'ve deleted thousands of irrelevant spam messages.<br><br>The saddest part about the situation with e-mail is that, over the past 20 years, we\'ve dug ourselves into a hole so deep that we can\'t even see the light of day any more. But yet most of us are happy living in this subterranean dwelling. <br><br>Here\'s an example: we recently launched a social site for a conference of around 100 people taking place in August. We used every social channel available to broadcast the launch: we updated the conference web site, we updated their blog and my blog (both of which are distributed through RSS), we updated Facebook statuses, added posted items to Facebook and broadcast several Twitter messages. The result? We have fewer than 10 registered users.<br><br>In a couple of days, we plan (unfortunately) to send a blast e-mail to all the conference registrants. I\'m expecting that (assuming we send the e-mail on Tuesday) by Friday, we\'ll have over 100 new sign ups. (I\'ll post the results of my little experiment on my blog, if anyone\'s interested. Perhaps I should e-mail them out instead, if I really want people to see them.)<br><br>What does this mean? A lot of leading technologists have denounced e-mail. However, it\'s still the best way to reach people because, despite all of its deficiencies, it remains the only technology that *everyone uses all day, every day.* Despite the overwhelming popularity of social sites like Facebook and Twitter, very few people can make a similar claim about them.</div>\

With the advent of these tools, I think that management\'s tolerance for not being "in the loop" when something significant happens is far less.  Almost all employees have been reprimanded in this way at one time or another, so employees use email as a shield to protect themselves, even though 99% of the email he/she sends is unnecessary.  The problem is that you have no idea what the 1% that is important really is. <br><br>- Google Docs is not easy to use.  At least 9 months ago.  Great idea, bad execution. But I agree, email is miserable in this regard. <br><br>- Not try to be too negative, but there is a "laziness" aspect to facebook and other technologies.  With "facebook", you can keep in touch with others who you count as "friends", but not necessarily those you would call on the phone on a regular basis.  Even though internally you admit that you should call them to chat.  Transpose this to email.  There are those who I would rather email than personally talk to.  It may be that I don\'t necessarily like talking that person, he/she may be long-winded or may just be an uncomfortable conversationalist.  Is this lazy and kinda spineless on my part?  Yeah.  But when it comes to work, you just want to get the message across, sometimes I really don\'t care about "building character", thus I shoot emails.</div>\

But I\'m not an executive, I\'m an IT specialist, and so, I\'d say that most of the email I get I actually need to receive.
