Internal only

• blogging server software
  • Movable Type, Wordpress, Drupal etc
• Enterprise RSS platforms
  • Newsgator Enterprise
  • Attensa - [Need to schedule a demo]
  • KnowNow Enterprise Syndication Solution - [Need to schedule a demo]
• social bookmarks / tagging [eg del.icio.us]
  • del.irio.us - perl based, very similar to del.icio.us
  • scuttle - PHP based - looks nice
  • dogear - IBM pilot social bookmark service - not available outside IBM yet.
• technorati equivalent
  • None
• Wikis
  • Too many to list, but some that I’ve tried are:
  • instiki
  • twiki
  • mediawiki
  • a good list of wikis is here
  • confluence [used internally by the BBC, and by us at Headshift]
• Integrated platforms
  • Community Server:
    • blogs, web based rss aggregator, internal blog aggregation, forums. I’ve been playing around with this a little, and it looks very useful.
    • There’s a free and only slightly limited version available that would work well for small companies as well as workgroups or departments.
    • Paid for options exist, giving access to single sign on, Exchange Server connectors, load balancing, etc.
    • ASP.net based, source code included.
  • Elgg
    • Intended for the education community, this nonetheless looks like a powerful integrated platform - blogs, tags, social networks, feeds. I’ll be trying this out as well - there’s a showcase site at elgg.net
  • ThoughtFarmer - ’social software for intranets’. Wiki based solution that seems to cover off some of the required functionality of an intranet. Includes some social bookmarking and social discovery features. [Need to schedule a demo]
  • Lotus Connections - IBM’s recently announced move into the enterprise social space. Apparently integrates social bookmarking (dogear), blogs, social discovery and communities (forums ??). [Need to schedule a demo]
  • Intel SuiteTwo - I hesitate to add SuiteTwo into this category, as it’s really a bunch of other products (Movable Type, SocialText, Newsgator, SimpleFeed) bundled together with some integration services from SpikeSource. Hard to see where the value is here.

Externally hosted that can work internally
