Also has ClickSMS for sending quick messages to mobiles rather than phone them up – would be better if you didn’t need an account but hey ho.

We also have a search by SMS running as well – and this too has been pushed but no one will fund it so accounts only.

I can understand why you might want to webfinger the directory (or at least I think I understand). But why would you want to Ribbitify it? What would that look / sound like?

BT Directory is the best tool for the job when you know who you want to find.

Have you tried Signpost:PeopleFinder on MyBT (www.mybt.bt.com)? The premise behind Signpost is expertise location, whereby you can find someone when you know *what* you want to find someone for, but don’t know *who* to find.

Samuel,

Yes it is. It’s voluntary so some people have nothing, some have lots of information and yes, some of it is not up to date. It is really down to people finding it helps them find other people and decide to add information about themselves.

There are reasons why HR don’t let the field be automatically filled or partly filled but I can’t remember the full reasons (sorry). If we do decide to do this then I’ll bear your suggestion in mind.

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks for sharing, Mark! Is the ‘interest’ and ‘expertise’ part filled manually by the employee? If so, do BT employees keep that info up to date? We used an interesting concept (that is now a separate company called Guruscan.nl) to semi-automatically fill the expertise field.
