NewsGator released new Social Sites features that will add advanced social network and community capabilities to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. With these features, NewsGator will deliver enhanced social networking capabilities for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 that facilitate employee collaboration and simplify information discovery – enabling enterprises to drive innovation, increase worker knowledge and improve productivity.

The new release of Social Sites will make it easier for people to discover relevant information and experts within an enterprise by providing a graphical display of a person’s social network based on both explicit and implied connections with others. Social Sites’ advanced social network capabilities will display a user’s strongest colleague connections, recommend additional connections based on common content and interests and suggest the best ways to connect with new colleagues.

The Social Sites release will also enhance employee collaboration by enabling users to create, discover and join ad hoc communities that span organization boundaries to connect people with common projects, areas of expertise, activities and interests. These communities will facilitate collaboration by providing rich discussion capabilities, centralized document management features and the use of tags, relevance data and RSS feeds to keep all members up-to-date on their communities’ latest news and activities.
