Out of curiosity, why do you think that's a problem?
- kinj28 12y agoso far we dont see any ESN, be it yammer or jive becoming a mainstream application. I think why ESNs havent been able to make a mark is because they arent designed for individuals or teams but they are designed for the enterprise. This approach of keeping an enterprise in the centre while designing the system doesnt address what an individual needs. In my experience, individuals work for a team & not enterprise & that according to me is a fundamental reason why the likes of yammer havent been as powerful as ideally they should be. Infact this problem was the start point for us while designing our tool teamgum - to build a reddit like community within an enterprise.
- hyperliner 12y agoI was calling a "problem" the situation where people see the market as "too hot" and then decide they don't have time to build a solution, choosing the "easy" path of M&A. I them see less engineering, more corp Dev driven decisions when the market is hot. If I knew the market was going to cool down, I could instead hire engineers and build a more realistic product that solves the specific problems that would survive the market transition.
