Mobile messaging apps becoming a trend, says FB exec

MANILA, Philippines Social media users are now shifting to mobile messaging applications, fleeing from old school social networking sites, a Facebook official said.

We did see a decrease in daily users specifically among teenagers, said David Ebersman, chief financial officer of the popular social networking site, admitting that it has a great impact on its earnings for the last three- month financial calendar.

Ebersman said the exodus may have been brought about by moms, dads, uncles and aunts invading Facebook walls of teenagers and generally bursting their personal digital bubbles.

Various private communication services are now starting to take over as social media users, particularly teenagers who are clearly growing tired of their conversations being publicly displayed.

Pioneering this trend are fun mobile messaging services like KakaoTalk and WeChat that are giving birth to a new global trend of messaging.

Similar messaging applications like Viber and Whatsapp is also witnessing phenomenal growth.

The markets adoption of messaging apps like KakaoTalk, Whatsapp, Viber is being driven by the combination of ease of use, convenience, privacy, and unique messaging options such as gaming and emoticons/stickers overall heightening ones mobile communications experience, said Don Anderson, Senior Vice President and Director of Regional Strategic Digital Integration for Asia Pacific of Fleishman Hillard, a leading global communications agency of the Omnicom Group.

Anderson added that it was also hard to overlook the cost effectiveness that these apps provide for maintaining real-time conversations over traditional, SMS-based interactions.

While Facebook may be approaching the crossroads of relevancy, particularly among teenagers, it is far from being the next Friendster or Myspace.

TIBCO and Huddle come together to bring customers a single platform for social collaboration

TIBCO and Huddle come together to bring customers a single platform for social collaboration

In our August 2013 analysis of TIBCOs social collaboration capabilities, one of the areas we highlighted was the weak support in its enterprise social networking platform, tibbr, for more structured document- centric and task-based scenarios. An encouraging roadmap was promised, and were pleased to see that TIBCO is now delivering on it.

At its TUCON customer conference event this October TIBCO made a number of announcements which further the companys aim to provide what they describe as a unified collaboration experience. The announcements came in two flavours: content discovery, aggregation and publication; and social task and project collaboration.

In the first of its announcements TIBCO promised to make each of its 6.5 million paid tibbr users a publisher, enabling users to find, publish and share content from a variety of sources within the enterprise using the new tibbr Pages app. At first glance, making it easier to create pages might look like a content proliferation nightmare waiting to happen but fear not, as the publishing environment also manages content entitlement policies, as well as allowing administrators to control who can see what, when and how.

In a second announcement TIBCO announced the availability of two new apps for the tibbr platform. The first, tibbr Files, enables users to search for, discover and work on files scattered across multiple on-premise and cloud-based file storage applications, including Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Huddle and SharePoint. The second app, tibbr Tasks, adds social task management capabilities to the platform, enabling people to create, assign and track tasks and projects.

Last, but by no means least, the third announcement builds on this integration significantly, with news of a strategic partnership with Huddle, a provider of SaaS-based file storage and sharing capabilities. The partnership gives Huddle customers access to the tibbr environment, adding a layer of social collaboration capabilities to its content storage and sharing play. In return, tibbr users now have full use of Huddles content collaboration service.

For TIBCO these announcements strengthen its position in the B2B social collaboration market, not only through the addition of more advanced features for content creation and collaboration, but also through the access to potential new customers its partnership with Huddle affords itthe private London-based company claims 80 percent of the Fortune 500 as customers, as well as 80 percent of UK government departments. (Could an acquisition be on the cards at some point we wonder?)

These announcements are also indicative of a current trend I discussed in my recent webinarnamely the convergence of applications and tools for social collaboration and task- or project-based collaboration. (You can watch a free replay here.)

This is a rapidly changing market sector, with vendors like TIBCO that previously focused on the softer people and relationship-based aspects of enterprise social networking and collaboration now adding support for more structured content and task-based activities. Likewise, vendors of tools focused on file storage and sharing (like Huddle), and applications for more structured, process-driven activities are now starting to add social functionality.

With others vendors like IBM, Jive, Igloo, and Telligent from the social collaboration side (to name but a few) and vendors like Clarizen, asana and LiquidPlanner from the task and project management world (again, to name but a few) all aiming their sights on providing a single platform which enables the best of both these worlds, the fight now is for vendors to establish dominance as the primary interface / access point for team workspaces, task and project management, and other flavours of social collaboration and networking activities. Well keep you posted on developments.
