CoreTalk is a communications and calendaring platform that enables
peers to share ideas and information across the organization.
With CoreTalk, employees can keep track of events and office
discussions and events through a customized homepage linked to their
friends and groups. Members of the company contribute content and
share their ideas with the CoreObjects community and the general public
through personal blogs and participation in group blogs.
CoreTalk is a virtual mirror of your physical office. It takes all
of the information that members of the CoreObjects organization create and
consolidates it for other CoreObjects employees to read.
CoreTalk is grounded in three major principles:
Get Informed: we want information to be convenient
CoreTalk lets you see the latest news from all of your favorite employee
group blogs and your co-workers' blogs right on one convenient homepage.
You'll also see your daily schedule, popular topics, and new posts about
you. This is your life, organized.
To keep track of life beyond the gates, we created My Interests.
With My Interests you can read all favorite blogs from outside CoreObjects, get
your G-Mail, and browse Flickr feeds.
Get Inspired: we want to make it easy to share ideas and information
Every CoreTalk user has a calendar. Every CoreTalk blog has a calendar.
When you subscribe to a blog, you can have its calendar automatically
integrated into your personal calendar. So, if there's a meeting on
Thursday, one person adds it to the calendar and everyone else sees it.
Simple.
But why stop with events? CoreTalk makes full use of tags to
identify, categorize, and filter information. Our Core Chatter
feature lets you instantly see the most popular tags across the whole
CoreObjects. You can even tag other users and see who's really the most
talked about person at CoreObjects.
Get Involved: we want to eliminate the hassle of discussion
Huge email lists and list-servs are incredibly inefficient and messy ways
of communicating. CoreTalk fixes all the problems of a list-serv by giving
every group its own blog. Blogs are perfectly suited to discussion since
they are structured as a topic post and a series of nested comments.
Moreover, blogs archive everything and are fully searchable.
Just in case you really like list-servs, CoreTalk can send every post
and comment right to your inbox (or send a daily digest), as well as let
you create new posts or comments via email.
Groups aren't the only way of communicating on CoreTalk. Our service
makes it easy to find friends' blogs and share your own ideas and thoughts
on a personal blog.
