Why are Activity Streams important?
“Social activities streams are a bridge to enterprise social vision,” wrote Rob Koplowitz, vice president and principal analyst, Forrester Research. “They connect workers to each other and to information. On its own, the information workplace lacks a mechanism that pulls together events, along with their context, background, and required actors, in a manner that is attractive and easily consumable for knowledge workers. This is where the activities stream comes in.
