BroadVision's Clearvale enterprise social networking software will now lets companies create networks on an ad hoc manner in which a mix of employees, partners and customers can participate.

Until now, the BroadVision software has allowed for the configuration of enterprise social networks devoted exclusively to employees, or to customers or partners, but the new capability to create "hybrid" networks will make the product more effective in improving business communication and collaboration, the company said on Tuesday.

The new capabilities are possible through features called Guest, Zones and Conduits. The Guest feature lets administrators add users to a network, but giving them more limited access to content and fewer permissions to perform certain actions, when compared with regular members of the network. Meanwhile, the Zones and Conduits features let administrators create collaborative workspaces that are, respectively, public or private.

BroadVision also added analytics features to Clearvale that are designed to not only measure and track usage of enterprise social networks, but also establish incentives for users to encourage their participation.

The Clearvale upgrade also includes an improved Task feature, integration with Microsoft SharePoint and an updated mobile application for iPhones and iPads.

Yahoo has filed a lawsuit against Facebook, claiming that the social networking giant is infringing on 10 patents.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, "Facebook's entire social network model, which allows users to create profiles for and connect with, among other things, persons and businesses, is based on Yahoo's patented social networking technology."

Facebook says that it's "disappointed" that Yahoo has decided to resort to litigation, but Yahoo contends that it is "confident it will prevail."

Facebook is supposedly infringing on Yahoo's advertising, privacy, customization, social networking and messaging patents, and others.

Yahoo's advertising patents include four patents related to generating ads that relate to users (like Facebook's personalized ads that include users' friends info) and monitoring ad clicks for click fraud. Yahoo's privacy patents include two patents that allow users to customize how information is shared (like Facebook's privacy settings -- but perhaps a little more coherent).

Yahoo's customization patents include two patents related to customizing a Web experience based on users' needs and interests (like Facebook's "Like" button). Yahoo's social networking patent is about letting users customize info about themselves, join groups of people with similar interests, and share information; Yahoo's messaging patent encapsulates e-mail, instant messaging, and "other messaging communication" on social networking websites.

In the lawsuit, Yahoo notes that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg "has conceded that the design of Facebook is not novel and is based on the ideas of others." Yahoo backs up this claim by quoting Zuckerberg himself: "The thing that's been really surprising about the evolution of Facebook is -- I think then and I think now -- that if we didn't do this someone else would have done it. Getting there first is not what it's all about."

To me that just sounds like Zuckerberg is conceding that "being first" isn't necessarily the most important thing.

Yahoo says Facebook is infringing on patents in "messaging, news feed generation, social commenting, advertising display, preventing click fraud, and privacy controls." Yahoo also claims that, before it adopted Yahoo's "patented social networking technology in 2008," Facebook was considered one of the "worst performing Internet sites for advertising."

Yahoo is asking that Facebook pay triple damages and all of Yahoo's legal costs, and that Facebook be "permanently enjoined" from further infringement of the patents in the suit.
