Gartner Magic Quadrant for Internal Social Sotware 2010: Valuable or Not?.
Gartner recently released their Magic Quandrant report for internal social software vendors. The below images are courtesy of Read Write Web. The first image is for 2010 the second is from last year. You can clearly see that this year there are a lot less vendors featured, you canread the RWW article on that to find out how the criteria has changed for this year’s report. I’m wondering if we might be putting too much weight on these types of reports. This post is more geared for folks who read/purchase these reports in the hopes of making some sort of a business decision as a result. I get that the space is still new and I feel that organizations looking to educate themselves about social software might be quick to put all their eggs in this so called “report basket.”
More in a minute, first the images.
