Nationwide: Building a World-Renowned Intranet with SharePoint 2013 and ...
Nationwide has done a brilliant job using SharePoint and Yammer to truly make an awesome Collaborative Environment. It encourages their employees to contribute to the environment with-out being too restrictive. Keep in mind Nationwide being a insurance company is heavily regulated,but they still have provide an environment that allows their employees to improve and experiment with apps and interactive tools.
They also have a pretty good handle on proving the ROI on this environment is absolutely positive. Take a look, I am going to shamelessly "re-use" many of the ideas illustrated here in my Collaboration Strategy.

This is great article that helps explain what Enterprise Social Collaboration is in the practical sense. It is not about having a facebook like site at work, and it is not having your company tweet every tidbit of info you think is important. It is about capturing the knowledge contained in the various silos of information and making it available and interactive with the entire enterprise.

Chris O'Brien: Using the Content Search web part (and understanding SP2013 search)
Chris O'Brien: Using the Content Search web part (and understanding SP2013 search):
SharePoint 2013 does have some social functionality out of the box, but as we now, even Microsoft realizes that their technology has its limitations. Some of the limitations can be overcome using the Content Search web part. One of the big issues with SharePoint social is that it still tends to silo information into different team sites, site collections, subsite, etc. If you have a large environment with many different site collections and you interact with many of them, you can find yourself, your content, and your discussion lost in the forest. The Content Search web part can traverse multiple properties and aggregate information for you. You can set up the web part in any page and have it specific to the user to the page. So the results are customize for them. It goes a long way to tying SharePoint together.

Best Remote Management Tool - Spiceworks
The news that LOGMEIN will no longer be free was not really a shock but it is still disappointing. I use 5 long me instances to support my Parents, who can barely find the "any key" and need my help pretty often. I can login from my home to theirs with logmein and give them the support and help that they need without much trouble. LOGMEIN was perfect for this type of activity. Unfortunately, $250.00 bucks year is a little steep and I am looking for another free alternative. I found this list of and I am starting to investigate. I think today is the last day of free LOGMEIN. So good luck.

If you conduct or attend a lot meetings (who doesn't) it get to be a huge part of your job just prepare, manage, and coordinate the meetings and all of the outcomes of the meetings. Onenote can help quite a bit and most organizations have Onenote as part of their MS Office and it is a really clever tool. It can interact with an established MS Office/Outlook environment. Take a look.
