The June 2 issue of Business Week has some interesting data on the impact that social media is having on organizations.
Some highlights:
- IBM's social network for employees, Beehive, with 30,000 employees using it.
- British Telecom's use of a corporate wiki for virtually every project, from writing new software to launching branding campaigns.
- Dell's service on Twitter purportedly grossing $500K in new orders in the past year.
- Best Buy's in-house social network, Blue Shirt Nation, with 20,000 participants and an 8.5% churn, compared with a 60% annual turnover rate for the entire company.
