Yesterday 21-5-2013 it was time for my first #SPJam a tweetjam on twitter which was organised by Harmon.ie

We had serveral good questions with some great answers from the people who were in the tweetjam.

the questions were:

Q1: Is Microsoft making the right moves in Enterprise Social Networking (ESN)? Why or why not? #spjam

Q2: How Can SharePoint/Yammer better align with the needs of the Enterprise today? #spjam

Q2 addon: Does Microsoft need more SP community outreach? Better Messaging? #spjam

Q3: What are some apps that we need now? #spjam

Q4: Does integration across all devices matter much? #spjam

Q5: How will these new Microsoft Social/Mobile developments affect the SharePoint community? #spjam

My Answers and retweets were:

A1: i think so aldo a lot of people would like to have a offline version of Yammer as well #SPjam

A1: There needs to be more focus by orgs as to ‘Why?’ otherwise the user adoption will peak and wane within just a few months #SPJam

#spjam q1 betting on the cloud targeting 3-5 yrs could make sense, but what about transitioning?

@corradoi exactly lots of company’s are not ready to move to the cloud yet #SPjam

@jmikewatson Agree on that one if the demo’s would be clear it would be easier to adapt! #Spjam

RT @rharbridge: Remember also that for Social to be successful it must be part of a platform that IT can rely on/manage securely. #SPJam +1

A1 and be honest the other 3rd party tools are not standing a chance as Microsoft will push it down to you! #Spjam

A2: if there would be a on premiss solution it would align better with the whole infrastructure. #spjam

A2: What @rharbridge says about SSO is absoluty true you should login one place and never get a popup anymore #SPjame

A2: the power of SharePoint has always been adaptability, but not oft realized. Yammer is just another layer #SPJam

A2: For anyone curious – Here is the public roadmap/content http://bit.ly/12rTn8Z  {#SPJam}

A3: i think there will become more apps that hold extra features for Office365 Social #spjam

@mysharepoint A3 could be a interesting App to build Social training in a App #Spjam

A3: Social ‘apps’ in O365 need to deliver clear business outcomes to accelerate adoption #SPJam

A3: 25% of enterprises will have an Enterprise App Store (EAS) by 2017 – Gartner #SPJam

A3: the problem with building apps is you first need to know what the real need is in business before you can build the rocket app! #spjam

#spjam the pain in SP App today is the security model that is not mature enough. App are inevitable like cloud. It’s about ITConsumerization

@corradoi that is why i point out there first need to be real requests before even start to build a app #spjam

@Soulsailor @KbWorks and users rarely know what they want/need. Facilitation and thought leadership are important #SPJam

A4 Mobile is key as more an more users will use there mobile device to work on during the day except the dev’s offcourse #Spjam

A4. An enterprise without a mobile and social strategy has a security problem. #SPJam via @joeloleson

@joeloleson I think SKydrive is already used a lot on Mobile devices at least what i see at enterprise companies #Spjam

A4: @KbWorks I think @dlavenda is referring “Build it and they will come” quote… #SPJam

@soulsailor @dlavenda i think it will cost you whole lot of effort and it like search for a golden needle in a haystack #SPjam

RT @yaacovc: BYOD is dead, it is time for UYOD Use Your Own Device for work, don’t just Bring it to work Q4 #SPJAM

@wturnhout true users will adopt if they feel it works not the other way arround #SPjam

@kbworks SkyDrive has made a name in consumer world, but SkyDrive Pro hasn’t gotten the adoption. Its potential:File Server killer #SPJam

@joeloleson absolutly true but there are still some limitations in skydrive pro #spjam

@buckleyplanet @markfidelman Although you can share docs from Dropbox to Facebook. So I think SkyDrive is important in this disc #spjam

@RHarbridge If the future of the enterprise is apps then MSFT needs to do more to have good ones built #SPJam

@jmikewatson @rharbridge true but are we not supposed to build them ? #Spjam

@KbWorks @rharbridge What incentive do you have? I can make millions on the right app on iOS/Droid.. How much on Win?

@KbWorks @jmikewatson @rharbridge Problem with SharePoint Store, target group is admins, while the user decides #spjam

@wturnhout @KbWorks @jmikewatson – Problem with all Enterprise IT marketplaces? – This can be solved though.

@wturnhout @jmikewatson @RHarbridge true so you need to change the whole marketing strategy to promote SharePoint Apps for Users #SPjam

@KbWorks @wturnhout @RHarbridge one must realize the truth. There is no admin #Matrix #SPJam

A5: the community needs to be grouped more with initiaves like #SPyam group where thoughts can be exchanged #SPjam

A5: I would say mobile is more challenging than social. Social is so collaborative and so is SharePoint #SPJam

@markfidelman @SoulSailor i think there will be a shift within SharePoint peeps that specialise in there specialism #Spjam

A5: Community Managers will be a critical role for organizations, most dont know what that is today #SPJam

Harmon.ie will blog themselves as well

and Joel Oleson will also blog about the tweetjam on his blog

Conclusion for me is that there is enough work to do but Users will be the key trough the whole process and not the IT people.

Users will say what they want and request it not the managers and not the IT. work bottom up!
