Selectminds.com - Corporate Social Networking

While facebook is becoming inundated with members of the corporate crowd, its primary audience and fundamental framework is still composed of and geared towards college students. Select Minds offers a service that caters, one hundred percent, to those in the corporate environment. Select Minds offers businesses the chance to improve productivity, strengthen relationships, and increase communication between employees, interns, corporate alumni, women, new hires, and retirees. Each platform is fully customizable and secure. These platforms offer companies a variety of benefits, that often would be difficult to realize otherwise- the chance to re-hire alumni, to communicate with retirees about business contacts, and to connect with other employees about company news.

“SelectMinds is the leading global provider of proven, Corporate Social Networking solutions. We help organizations build connections among and between groups of employees, alumni, and other constituencies to increase knowledge sharing and productivity across the enterprise.”

Select Minds offers companies the chance to harness the benefits of social networking in a context that specifically suits the business. Particularly useful are the alumni connections- and the chance for alumni to refer business back to their former company or to be in touch for re-hiring.

Does Select Minds give group administrators too much control? One great aspect about social networking is increased communication between members (which often involves sharing personal information and light-hearted banter). It seems as though administrators have complete authority to view and control what happens within each platform- could this potentially disrupt this important aspect of communicating?
