I would ask, Now based on my key role in building a private social network from hundreds up to 45,000 staff in a large organisation, which somehow means little to others, I have not got traction myself.
*The null hypothosis* How many people use the forum version of GG?, that is the ONLY way I use it, How many people use the archive? How many use the filters? Are we realing using GG well. *The problem* is in my view finding out how to find a path for the community to evaluate and choose. When I built a Yammer forum (still available), I would have being interested in people trying it, about three people spoke to me there, 20 joined but did not do a simple post, so I am confident it was not even given a chance, even although I insisted it solved most if not all needs (after reading everyone's comments). I believe I addressed a number of concerns in the GG threads relating to it but we had no team evaluating it. I tried most other solutions proposed but was not able to feedback my experience good or bad, with each to anyone except the person(s) who proposed it, so my experience did not influence anyone ie it ended up being one persons experience and no collaboration took place. The key features in my mind about yammer I would like to see for this community, is the ability to review all activity, but focus on special interest groups, or as a newbee start in a simple group for them. referring to prior discussions and avoiding too much repeating oneself was also good, as well as allowing voluntary group owners to curate there own groups. This is about moving the culture, and cultures cant move easily until their is one to go to, we need a team of people to commit to a new solution. - Never propose a replacement, first provide a good alternative and maintain the place existing systems ie GG effectively, - time will determine if the new solution is a success. - I already lost the argument in GG that self admin was the best approach democratising the admin functions, limited admins is unsustainable. There is no way for our community to let a set of individuals take responsibility for a project and have their knowledge and experience applied to a community end. Even if in the end this is a population driven way to determine what is successful. Jeremy remains the only true leader, yet to expect him to personally promote, drive or authorise cultural changes is too much for an individual. Please do not just reply and only criticise yammer, this reply is not an invitation for its criticism, my points would be valid for any choice. Feel free to critisise my other words.
