A quick peek into some research on… how active engineers are with social networks. While attending the PROuser conference, I heard Robin Saitz of PTC talk about a study that they commissioned Forrester Research to develop. The goal of the study was to better understand how active PTC’s customers are in social networks.
The results surprised me and they didn’t, it turns out that engineers and product developers are very active with social computing! The Research Forrester, from what I can see, has taken a significant lead in researching social computing. I hear and read frequently about their research and their books. About nine out of ten (specifically 89%) of those surveyed use social media and Web 2.0. There is clearly more to the research about how they use it, whether they use it personally or professionally, and other factors. Robin did make it clear that they are using social computing for work as well as personal reasons. My Thoughts Let me keep this short. Why am I surprised? PLM Content and Facebook Open Graph « Daily PLM Think Tank Blog. Facebook F8 conference this week was a place for some very interesting announcements that, in my view, may have an impact on PLM too. I can recommend you to read a good summary of news introduced by Facebook here.
In my view, it presents a very interesting dimension in the future development of Facebook. The question I’m asking – should PLM care? Is there something new presented by Facebook, that can catch a focus of current and future PLM development? Web Content Creation Facebook is making next steps in the development of content on the web. Social Graph The notion of connection between social sites is presented in the Open Graph Protocol. PLM Content I see a comparison between the way Facebook is building social web content and PLM content. What is my conclusion? Best, Oleg Like this: Like Loading...
