Tagging
Tagging is the process of assigning user-defined keywords to a piece of information and can be done by the creator or the viewer of the content. these tags are often used to create aggregated informal classifications and as a discovery method.
Locate Expertise
One of the major benefits that results from enterprise tagging is the ability to locate expertise within the organization. In large companies, finding someone who knows about a specific topic can be extremely difficult. Yet with enterprise bookmarking, it is relatively easy to find experts based on the tags they use most regularly. The assumption is that people who frequently use a certain tag will have an interest in (and therefore some knowledge of) that topic. Through no additional filling out of profiles, it therefore becomes a quick and simple procedure to identify experts, or at least augment existing expertise location systems with such intelligence.
Alternatively, an employee might wish to find others in their organization who share the same interests or knowledge (and therefore people they would want to connect and share information with).
User Profiles
Profile pages can be useful as a standard place to find contact information, people’s biographies, for leadership and public facing employees, this is a great way to always have the most up-to-date bios for trade publications, conferences, and so on. Furthermore, it can be a great place for other users to know the projects they’re working on.
Encourage users to tap into the social side of the collaboration suite by filling their user profiles, adding their profile picture, their designation, location in the company, their phone numbers (incase they need to be contacted), a url of their personal web blog; if any. Once a profile has been established, users must keep their profiles up to date.It’s the difficulty of updating that hinders most other types of content management and website creation tools, but this isn’t the case with cyn.in so it’s a much more attractive option. The ease of doing this can make the first experience using cyn.in enjoyable.
