Qontext.com provides better-than-Chatter social features tightly embedded into NetSuite (http://bit.ly/eluvjs).

As ISVs build their own custom social features, they won’t work well across applications, which just creates “social silos”. Social and collaboration features are needed to work across geography, across function and across application.

Qontext social-enables any of your applications out-of-the-box so social interactions can pin to an account record in CRM and also pin to an order in your order entry system. There, for easy reference at any time.

@Dennis – sure.. in just the same way as we communicated pre-email, read before the invention of the printing press and accounted on paper ledgers. Just because a communication method isn’t revolutionary doesn’t mean that applying it in new ways can’t create a revolution. And that is what I believe social within the enterprise can do…

@ben: “Giving a salesperson, for example, visibility over a particular inventory item that is important to one of their customers, helps to bridge the gap between an organization, its suppliers and its customers. It could be argued that financial data, being the one data type that is common between all organizations, is even a better candidate for social than salesforce with it’s sales-centric data types.” – errr… that already exists in a number of applications and you don’t need social anything to achieve it.
