Rrrrright. Like a project lead is going to use "search" to find team members for the project. There's no bureaucracy involved in budget planning and staffing and all that crap. And what's this bullshit about spending "valuable time trying to coordinate with other project leads and stakeholders"? She's a project lead, that's part of her bloody job! That's is what I hate about modern managers: they try to offload all their work to people who have their hands full trying to get stuff done.

[The1Tonic]

@CodeMage OMG its a demo chill out

[MightyBharek]

Lotus...Lol

[Michaelsp9]

HOW THE FUUUCK DO I REMOVE THIS!!

[sashafroyland]

We help client's get up and running on Sharepoint at Help4Microsoft. dot com

[andycrews]

Sharepoint delenda est.

[akewsome]

same like ELO.

[ChaosN2Stars]

How is this any different from a Lotus database?

[kdjordan1]

Really enjoyed this simple yet effect way of explaining SharePoint. Seeing how we're just really starting to implement SP at my place of employment; is it ok for me to use this video as part of my SP presentation to my colleagues?

[pioupiou701]

@kdjordan1 yes it is,

[HariLilNandan]

@grappler100 yes they missed the part where sharepoint makes eggs sunny side up

I am sooooo glad I never had to 'collaborate' in 'projects'! Sounds like wading in molasses.... I like the old-fashioned method: the boss tells you what he wants, when he wants it, what your constraints are, and sets benchmarks to make sure you don't go off on tangents.

[humaxf1]

what if you don't like mountain biking... you can't use sharepoint?

[metanoia29]

Wait, when did MS kidnap the guy who makes Google videos and force him to draw this one?!

[urvinthusu]

 great way of presenting ... NOW to know abit more in advanced visit cms.edynamic.net

[fhputube]

@grappler100 The older versions of SharePoint were primarly just that. It is only recently (with 2007 release) that SharePoint has seriously started playing in the fields of composite applications, reporting and more. Happy SharePointing. :)

[Dexduzdiz]

[Rajhify]

nice..

[bhushi5764]

Nice upload. I like the way it is expalined. it's brilliant man.

[MrAlistairSpalding]

Thank goodness we'll no longer have to talk to our coworkers. I hated building relationships in that way.

Likewise I'm pleased that time spent travelling to meetings and arranging teams and project work can now be spent writing things on my sharepoint profile, complaining to IT about functional limitations and trying to keep the sharepoint folders up to date.

[deedeeonUTube]

@MrAlistairSpalding

I agree, we need to spend more time pinned to our desks and stop wasting time talking to other humans!

[scoachdj]

how can we dowload it?

[Intwatpapsmir2]

Stop whining about your personal life...the only "connection" you need is "what is best for the company and us". That is it.  Getting into personal nonsense hurts...not helps...team functioning. DO YOUR JOB and shut your mouth when you're talking to me!

[snowman2009]

why is Monique a man? =(

[jradetzky]

@snowman2009 she's a transsexual

[test123ok]

@snowman2009 he's probably french .

[GRABA85]

@snowman2009 She's not a man. She's lesbian Project Manager.

[OlDrtyBstrd]

Hmm it's either we use SharePoint or Google Wave (FREE!)

[burningedgekx]

@OlDrtyBstrd If you trust Google intro giving them more info about yourselves, go ahead. SharePoint has more features though.

[OlDrtyBstrd]

@burningedgekx Like we don't give enough info about ourselves on websites like Facebook, Myspace, Youtube (owned by google). Granted sharepoint has more features but sometimes people don't want to pay too much for features they probably barely of wont even use.

[stvsummon]

@OlDrtyBstrd Google WAVE is DEAD mate did you not know that. Google messed up.

[ZacOnTV]

There's a free version of share point, called SharePoint Foundation

[Mohi212]

Love the animation . Great job .

[Lamykopatygaros]

SharePoint is the worst piece of sh.. ever delivered by MS.

[aztricoach]

@Lamykopatygaros - Could you be more specific?

[OfficeCornerTips]

Great video! Perfect for an overview of the product.

[s4vvys]

Thanx..better explained than MS's written novel.

[ariaane]

@s4vvys

Tell me about it. MS have no clue how to convey things simply

[colonmelissa]

I love this video!!! I have a couple years experience with SharePoint, and I'm always finding different way to explain to end-users.

[TheMicrosoftTraining]

please visit TheMicrosoftTraining

[Acura8100]

Nice

[BuffaloBub]

To compare SharePoint to Google is completely 'misunderestimating' what SharePoint can do.

[ZachariahLogan]

google did it,

1 docs

2 calendar

3, wave.

[awarmheart1]

@ZachariahLogan privacy = null!!

SharePoint in plain English from a developer perspective:

"Why did that bitch choose SharePoint - AAAARGH!"

[bunchofstring]

I've been using SharePoint for the past 3 years. The platform does document management better than anything else mentioned in the video, so that may explain the focus on that functionality. Keep in mind that the video is not a reflection of SharePoint OOTB, and outside of document management, the other features leave a lot to be desired... especially compared to the many strong open source offerings out there.

[igloodesigners]

could you list some of those opensource alternatives and waht they are good for

[georgekozlovsky]

google docs :) Not quite open-source, as far as I know, but still free of charge.

[dmightx]

@georgekozlovsky I don't think Google docs can connect to the network and access company data can it?

[georgekozlovsky]

@dmightx Microsoft has indeed a different approach in what concerns storing the data, if that's what you mean. But, there are still businesses that take advantage of Googles' strategy.

[korwinblue]

Google Wave is basically the same idea. I think Opera is doing something similar.

[bunchofstring]

@igloodesigners Forgive the late reply. I missed the email alert somehow. It's difficult to make a short list without knowing what you want to do, but here are a few notables off the top of my head.

Atlassian Confluence - a true enterprise wiki

Google Wave - real-time and asynchronous collaboration platform (not sure if Google will relaunch this somehow). Google docs is another strong competitor in this space.

Drupal and WordPress - site/blog management (Drupal is behind whitehouse.gov FYI)

[swimmer4ever200687]

@bunchofstring

so can i ask a question , if am a webdeveloper and i know sql and php , so is there is any use for this sharepoint ?

am not arguing , am asking .

[bunchofstring]

@swimmer4ever200687 I often think of SharePoint as a db front-end, so your skills in data modeling/IA could some in handy there, especially if you want to develop your own web parts and such. PHP isn't applicable as far as I know, but ASP definitely is.

[suprafan99]

fantasticly simple. I'll be showing this to our department heads tomorow. Thanks so much!

[mraladdina]

finally i understood wt is share point :) tnx a lot

[4v4l0n42]

How about Google docs? I don't know, the video is good as usual, but I feel this is the first time that common craft sounds a bit... sellout.

I always appreciated CC because they used to explain very simply complex ideas about the best tools available, without focusing on a specific service.

This video looks more of a commercial than of an informative guide.

[LocatechIT]

Nice overview in 3 minutes, good introduction to show to clients. Would be nice to have a localized version (our clients are German).

[dlairman]

It does mention the wikis and blogs, and the ability to schedule meetings, but the video is a bit heavy on the document management side of things.

[grappler100]

I like this style and the content is good, however, if I didn't know anything about SharePoint I'd come away thinking it was a document management system and obviously there's a lot more than that.
