Facebook-esque platforms are neato but leave a bit to be desired when it comes to proving business cases like the one above. You see, SONAR doesn’t lie. I can’t “friend” someone important (like a client or VP) and legitimately beef up my rolodex. I can’t self-declare “DBA” to save myself from a non-technical workforce reduction. I not only have to actually converse with people to create a connection, but the content must be of value.

Check out the link from the comment above. The folks at Infovark discuss this phenomenon with way more scientific credibility that I do. Not sure if there is an SNS platform that addresses this completely. Excellent point about LinkedIn. Check out the link from the comment above.

I think you might be able to reduce the 'gaming' of the system if the evaluations are not anonymous... if, as a superior, I can see that all the generous evals are from Joe's lunch buddies, I can discount their value. if I see the evals are from people I trust (or have no reason to distrust). overlaying some kind of trust-web seems necessary, though I don't know if that's something best handled with more technology, or just let it happen naturally (between the ears). I see this as a problem with LinkedIn already -- I have some glowing recommendations, but 3rd parties have no reason to trust them (unless they happen to be one of their direct contacts). interesting indeed.

I think many people would be surprised by what they actually spend their time on as distinct from what they think they are doing or what they are supposed to be doing. I can see people manipulating it but in some ways it would be harder to manipulate this than some traditional subjective performance management tools. My work is usually with large matrix organizations where organizational complexity can make it hard to get performance input – this idea could help Using tag clouds to diagnose what people have actually been doing (in their text interactions at least) is a fascinating idea.

I will definitely check out Jobster. I think there will be gaming of any system related to performance management. I would hope that the tag cloud approach served as a tool to help evaluators weed through the real reviews and the quid pro quo reviews. Hi Eben – Thanks for the comment.

Wait - I'll say no more I'm having an idea ;) Regarding the Performance Management angle - hey u send me a good review and I'll send u one too. Tags directly related to content produced by employees says not very much about the quality of the content - no matter how large the tag. I did like the sound of SONAR tho when I spoke to one of the dev's at Pizza on Rails (London) a while back.
