I hear it almost everytime I talk to a customer. FACEBOOK for the Enterprise. Or "You know, like Facebook", or "They all use Facebook. They want that experience." It goes on and on. Now, I'm not actually pushing or even agree to a large extent of the value proposition of Facebook internally. The permissions are garbage and limited, true collaboration is not existent, and well, it's messy.
What people are looking for is a way to engage their workers by enabling them to collaborate in a familiar manner. Many times, that experience steems from their facebook usage. Other times, they just assume that Facebook is the standard by which all should be compared, even though they have never seen Facebook. I'm not uber opinionated with things like this. I feel everyones experience is different. Their needs are different and should be met. With that in mind. What is a good way to give your employees a Facebook-like experience? Well, give them Facebook (But not really
).
So.... with that in mind. Let's make Clearspace look and feel like Facebook.
How can I make Clearspace look and feel like Facebook?
- You need two things:
- The Facebook Theme - Download and install theme.
- The Facebookish Plugin - Download Plugin and install.
- What does it look like?
3. In the theme, the default is "OneCompany" logo. You can replace this by changing the cllogo.gif to whatever you like.
4. That's it
Enjoy.
