“A Whole New Experience” – the debut of the latest Socialcast platform
More than two and a half years after we launched our first social employee community, the Socialcast innovation continues with a complete overhaul of our Enterprise microblogging software.
Today, we’ve launched a brand new interface designed to make using Socialcast easier and more intuitive. Focusing on activity streams – or custom pages of information that you follow based on people, topics, and groups – Socialcast has made finding and navigating through all of your steams simpler than ever before. The new improvements include:
Simpler “Share” form that makes it easier to send messages (the system also supports line breaks)
- All of your streams are listed on the left hand side of your screen, making browsing and searching quick and easy
- Flagged messages let you follow up on important topics
- Socialcast applications that you haven’t tried yet appear on your homepage
- Real-time trending topics and a tag cloud are available in your Home stream
- Network History helps you find recent information post-vacation or after being away from the network for some time
- Custom streams and new groups can be created directly from your Home stream
- Export RSS feeds of any stream into your RSS reader
The new interface surfaces all of the tools and options you need in one straightforward location – your Home stream. One of our clients that tested the new interface noted that, “This is a whole new way of experiencing Socialcast – I feel like I just ‘get it’ now. It’s so easy to use.”
Stay tuned for more upcoming features and improvements soon – and follow us on Twitter for the latest product updates and announcements.
