Microsoft SharePoint embraces Web 2.0
The software giant’s general manager of SharePoint tools and platforms, Derek Burney, announced Community Kit for SharePoint at last week’s Enterprise 2.0 conference in the US.
Enterprise RSS vendor NewsGator said it has enhanced SharePoint’s feed subscribing tools with tagging and an Ajax interface.
The notion of integrating Web 2.0 technologies from the public internet ?blogs, wikis, and social-networking features ?in businesses has been gaining momentum for the past few years and is sometimes referred to as “Enterprise 2.0″.
Several smaller software companies, like Socialtext and Jive Software, have created products designed to be lightweight, user-friendly alternatives to traditional content-management and collaboration tools.
