Socialwok Outlook Connector: Bringing Sharing and Collaboration to Outlook

At Socialwok, we believe in the power of bringing social productivity and collaboration to the enterprise. One of the key platforms for office productivity is Microsoft Office. We are excited to announce the beta release of Socialwok Outlook Connector to help businesses share and collaborate within Outlook. Here is the blog post by Microsoft on Socialwok. Here is what you can do today to start bring business social sharing to your Outlook client.

1. Download the latest version of the Outlook Social Connector from Microsoft (Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 is required)
2. Once that is installed, download the Socialwok Outlook Connector
3. Restart your Outlook and follow the instructions to connect your Socialwok account to Outlook. Note: Socialwok Outlook Connector supports Google Apps, Gmail and any valid work email addresses.

Here are the key benefits of what the Socialwok Outlook Connector can do for you

• Keep track of what your co-workers and clients are working on or sharing with you - See the latest activity of any Socialwok member who e-mails you right at the bottom of the email. See what emails they have previously corresponded with you, attachments and their status updates. If they have a profile picture, you will see it too.

• Get the latest contact information of your Socialwok  – E-mail addresses, profile details, and photos from your Socialwok network will start appearing in an Outlook Contacts folder named “Socialwok” – so now you’ll always have the latest contact information from Socialwok close at hand. You’ll also be able to e-mail your Socialwok network contacts by just typing their name into the Outlook “To:” box and letting Outlook fill-in the rest.

We brought Socialwok to Gmail through the Socialwok Gmail Gadget, so that our users can access their Socialwok network from inside Gmail. We got a lot of positive feedback for that tight Gmail integration. We hope that by bringing Socialwok to another popular email client like Microsoft Outlook; many more users can enjoy the power of business social productivity and collaboration from their inbox.

Socialwok Outlook Connector is still in beta. So any feedback on issues, problems, or features is very welcome. Feel free to leave this feedback using the comments below.
