The Center in the news
On September 17th we announced the Center for Social Software. Here's what the press - local and national - had to say about
the center:

"The folks at this IBM center have some very interesting tools to support collaborative views of what's going on," said Thomson-Reuters Healthcare senior vice president William Marder. "The nice part of this center is the potential to interact with some world-class smart people." - Boston Business Journal: New IBM center to focus on social software

"... we're talking about social software, not social networking.
We are seeing a real change from people using social software in who knows whom, and how people find people.
... A lot of what our research is about is understanding the broad impact of this category of software."

"We're going to be more focused on explicitly taking on projects that will change our route to market, that will help us work more closely with Lotus, but also develop paths to our own internal deployments that will keep us at the leading edge of social software," Greif said.

Putting it into Wordles
Use Wordle to turn a block of text into a cloud that shows which words are used most frequently. The bigger the word, the more often it's used. Customize the color scheme, layout, and fonts in your wordle, and share it with others. We created this wordle from the About Us page on this site. Wordle's simple interface offers a gallery of wordles that other people have posted, instructions on how to create a cloud, and some creative suggestions for using them. It's easy and fun!
Wordle is the brainchild of Jonathan Feinberg who is a research developer in the Collaborative User Experience research group.
