The document discusses Enterprise 2.0 and the benefits it provides. Enterprise 2.0 refers to using social software and Web 2.0 technologies internally in a company. It allows for knowledge sharing through wikis and blogs, as well as social networking, publishing, and collaboration among employees. Benefits include improved business agility, participation, and emergence of ideas and expertise from within the organization. An example of Enterprise 2.0 described is TamTamy, a knowledge sharing framework developed by Reply that allows employees to freely share and discuss information through blogs, files, tags, and chat.

The application of Web 2.0 models and technologies introduces new forms of collaboration
in companies, based on diffuse and unstructured knowledge. Knowledge management
platforms open up to bottom-up approaches of construction and sharing of information
based on wikis and blogs changing the way we work.

3. An EFFECtiVE EXAMpLE
OF EntErprisE 2.0
TamTamy - the Enterprise 2.0 Knowledge Sharing
Framework developed by Reply -
is a place to freely public, share, discuss about
many arguments inside the organization, it’s
based on Web 2.0 concepts and used in an intranet
environment.
TamTamy proposes to:
> Promote communication and cooperation among
Reply users;
> Publish and share different types of contents
without any exposure or publication restrictions;
> Stimulate the exchange of ideas and create
horizontal collaboration;
> Create spontaneous communities inside Reply;
> Stimulate the creativity, intellect, and passion of
every single user.
TamTamy integrates blog services, RSS feeds,
galleries, multimedia contents and community
services. This new corporate tool allows Reply
users to interact freely, to get to know their
colleagues and to emphasise the features and
interests of each individual to form spontaneous
communities. Thanks to the use of mashup tools,
it will be no longer necessary to access different
websites to create your own blog, to share interests
with other people, to check the news, to follow
external blogs: TamTamy can offer all this at the
same time, through a simple user interface.

4. TamTamy users can provide their support through
the use of a wide range of tools such as:
> Blogs: personal or group blogs, vertical or
horizontal;
> Personal space: personal space where users
can create and update the contents edited or to
be edited that users become responsible for;
> Personal pages: personal pages where users
can collect the contents they are interested in,
including the contents appearing on TamTamy
and on external websites (RSS, mash-ups);
> Rating & posting: additional contents can be
posted by other users, commented on and rated;
> Tagging: all the contents are published and
available through tagging;
> Chat: interaction online with other users;
> Sms: send sms to other users;
> Sharing: personal contents can be shared with
anyone or with a limited number of people,
created by the user himself;
TamTamy functions are released according to the
perpetual beta approach, constant micro releases
of new services that are requested directly by the
users.
