live.sharepointcommunity.de

• Easy, because SharePoint has lot’s of basic social functions build in like mysites, ratings, content tagging, blogs, wikis, noteboards, and more. Just start to use them.
• Hard, because the basic out of the box functions SharePoint falls short of many end-user expectations around social. Customization or the addition of third-party products is needed.

That’s why Microsoft rely on the partner ecosystem. Partners that identify the gaps and build solutions to extend SharePoint’s social computing capabilities.

I did some research and created a site dedictated to SharePoint as a Social Business platform called: SharePointSocial.de.

Here is a list of 39 solutions I’ve found. If you know any other, please add a comment and I’m happy to add it to the site.
