Embeddable three-function social control
Social features are available beyond Sharepoint. With a simple edit, your organization can place a three- function control on any page that can access your SharePoint server.
This allows users to tag the URL of the page within SharePoint, or add a note to it, and also share the page in the stream.
As shown in the screenshot, the Share function supports auto- complete to allow targeting this page to specific colleagues and communities.
Sharing creates an event in the activity stream with the URL of this page and any comment added by the user when she shares.
The Notes and Tags functionality interact directly with SharePoint in the same way that the built-in browser favorite from the Tags & Notes page on the user profile works.
When a user adds a note, it is stored directly in Sharepoint connected to the URL of the web page. The five most recently added notes will display below the note entry box.
The tag function auto-completes with suggested tags.
All three actions (note, tag and share) creates new activity stream events.
