contexts, but they have not yet achieved wide acceptance in corporate
settings. Nonetheless, there is reason to believe microblogging could
serve as an informal corporate communications channel. Could
microblogging augment existing status messaging tools? Could the brief
format and near-real-time (yet asynchronous) nature of microblogging
support other communication tasks within the enterprise?
This one day workshop will explore problems and solutions associated
with business microblogging and consider how microblogging technologies
can be customized and transitioned to the workplace. Suggested themes:
(1) Microblogging Technology and Functionality, (2) Business
Applications for Microblogging (including applications that blend
business and social uses), and (3) Strategies for Deploying and
Evaluating Microblogging in the Enterprise. Attendees will discuss
position papers and participate in group brainstorming activities.
Workshop products will be posted to the website; the organizers are
currently exploring other venues for publishing this work, as well.
To participate, please submit a 2-4 page position paper in CSCW format
describing relevant work, approaches, and/or concepts by Friday 20
November 2009. Position papers can be emailed directly to
organizers@microblogworkshop2010.com<mailto:organizers@microblogworkshop2010.com>.
Please include author affiliations and contact information. Workshop
organizers will evaluate papers based on relevance and unique
contribution to the workshop (note that papers addressing themes other
than those listed will still be considered). Authors will be notified of
acceptance by 15 December 2009.
