Find out what’s really going on with an activity stream

Activity streams for business are increasingly busy places, so it’s a good thing they’re becoming smarter at driving content to the people who can best use it.  Although access to information provided through activity streams is wonderful, users shouldn’t have to wade through oceans of information to find what’s important to their job.  That is why NewsGator has taken a fresh look at activity streams with Social Sites 2010 and added some clever filtering and sorting options.  Rather than rely on traditional filters that are simply based on keywords, Social Sites 2010 Top News incorporates a truly intelligent filter that uses a learning algorithm to review your activities and understand what information is most relevant to you.  Based on what it learns from your activities, the filter selects and promotes to the top of your stream those Top News items - bringing the most relevant data to the forefront.

Social Sites 2101 also adds smart sorting to the activity stream to help users stay current.  While it is great to have things filtered properly so the most relevant posts are listed prominently, it is even better when the most current update to the stream is moved to the top of the conversation.  So now, not only is information filtered for relevance to each user it is also sorts by the time it was posted.

There is no better way to gauge the pulse of an active company than through activity streams for business.  Every department is buzzing with projects they are working on and sharing rapidly–expanding volumes of information.  With these new features NewsGator Social Sites 2010 is continuing to make sure employees can easily harness the power of the social enterprise – helping to boost their productivity and drive real business results.  

Do you get overwhelmed keeping up with the activity stream? How do you cope?
