This coming week I am excited to be returning to Lotusphere. In my last visit I co-presented a Lotus Notes based knowledge management project with my client, Ryder. This year I am coming back as a blogger to report on the event. To mark this return we created a special version of the Darwin Awareness Engine™ that tracks conversations on the Web about Lotusphere. NOTE: Since this event is now over we have taken down the Edition. We are analyzing the data and will soon have a video overview of the results, Stayed tuned. In the meanwhile you can see an explanation of the Editions series and link to other Editions.
The Darwin Awareness Engine™ helps users track Web and Enterprise 2.0 events, uncover emerging trends and gain faster understanding of complex issues. To help demonstrate the value of this new way to present time-sensitive and contextual information.
In this edition, we presented recent news, blogs, and social media mentioning Lotusphere. We picked Lotusphere as it represents a focused and constantly changing topic with the possible emergence of unanticipated news. It also shows how the Awareness Engine can cover a specific event. Our analysis will be up soon.
The Darwin Awareness Engine presents the rising terms and related concepts emerging as events unfold from the Web’s collective reaction and participation with Lotusphere. Users can observe the emergence of topics of interest, and with a mouse-over and click, see the Web events that relate with the selection. This makes awareness and discovery much faster than managing alerts, search queries, or browsing through countless news/blogs/social web sites.
You can either look at the general buzz from these sites or, if you register, choose attractors to focus on specific topics of interest. The default shows you what has happened in the target content sources in the last hour. You can expand it to the last two hours, 24 hours and even last 200 hours. You can focus on the more formal sources or the informal ones (bloggers) or look across both. Again, details instructions can be found in our post on instructions.
We hope that you find these Darwin Editions useful and will certainly appreciate any feedback. Please contact us at feedback@DarwinEco.com. We will also be happy to discussion the various business options for a fully functional Darwin edition with all administration rights. You can create your own Darwin Editions on the topics of your choice with the target content of your selection. There are both individual and enterprise options.
