A previous employer attempted to create that as an internal platform. It went about as well as you would expect. :rolleyes:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Teams BLOWS. It's terrible. The conversations are gated by IT settings and they expire. It's a steaming pile... :mad: God, please let me retire before meeting Viva.

I can see this having a place in companies. Think about all the water cooler discussions and other social activities that occur in many companies and this fits right in with them.
20 years ago I contracted at a company that used "the office package that everyone legendarily hates" - anyway, so they had all of these user forums for all of their different company supported groups. Now mind you, fb is fb to mine data. Microsoft wants to be able to mine what companies are doing. You think there is some other reason why they want companies to go to the cloud and 365? Hmm. Anyway, after announcement after announcement of awards to assorted groups: single moms, mixed this, mixed that. It doesn't really matter. We're talking 100s of thousands of dollars - some engineer commented, "Can we get some money for training and research?" and was told, "Get on the train or find another place...." Company does not exist any more. Microsoft made it's money with the OS and Office. I live in the embedded world and we are on Windows embedded. Not for much longer. FML.
