Tomoye News & Articles

One of the most well-known SharePoint-based social computing vendors, NewsGator (news, site) has just announced an acquisition deal with Tomoye (news, site) that expands their solution offering and markets, and could just put them above the rest for an end-to-end Enterprise 2.0 platform.

At the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston in June, Tomoye demoed the latest version of their enterprise community and social networking platform for SharePoint. Now that latest version -- 3.0 -- is available and it has a number of new features and licensing models that may interest you.

Remember us telling you that Tomoye (news, site) was demoing the latest version of their community solution at the Enterprise 2.0 conference? Well we finally got a little more detail on what's new in Communities 3.0. Take a quick walk with us through the community updates.

Tomoye (news, site) has a new version of their Community software available as a Public Beta starting today. Tomoye Community Software 3.0 is community and social networking application that can be deployed standalone or as an add-on for Microsoft SharePoint.

We gave you an overview of the current release of the community software back in November of last year. That version offered communities based on themes, expert classification, community metrics and a SharePoint powerpack.

The latest version, also being demonstrated at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston for the next three days, includes the ability to show information and people based on being voted most helpful or most connected. Community members also have a say on what's displayed on the community home page through voting.

That's probably not all this new version of Tomoye can do, but unless you sign up for their public beta, you can't seem to find much more information.

We'll be digging that up and bringing it to you as soon as possible. Until then, check them out at the Enterprise 2.0 conference or sign up for that public beta to see for yourself.

Get the feeling this isn't the only social networking, community announcement coming this week? Yeah, neither do we... Stay tuned!

What’s the different between a community and a social networking site? A lot says Tomoye, provider of the Communities for SharePoint solution. Today they announce their latest version of the knowledge management and collaboration SharePoint solution designed with the enterprise in mind.

CMSWire had an opportunity to see the Communities for SharePoint solution and talk with CEO and Co-Founder Eric Sauve.
