Proudly Launching eMee

It gives me tremendous pride and pleasure to announce that we have formally launched eMee, our very innovative social networking and gaming based offering for employees, giving them a unique platform to showcase their skills and achievements and get the recognition they deserve! While I do not want to disclose too much here at this time, look out for our website coming up soon.

With more than 6000 users at Persistent already thrilled by eMee, and at least half a dozen customers lined up eager to get it deployed, this is definitely something you should sign up for :)


So what is eMee trying to achieve? Well, for most of us, Facebook has made it necessary to get recognized and appreciated for everything, whether it is for a haircut, or our latest Beemer. We want to be "liked" and commented on. But what happens in our professional life? We do a good job, maybe our customer or boss sends a congratulatory mail - maybe we get some kinda medallion. But how do I show it off? That's the problem eMee tries to address.

For more, drop me a note! :)

Interesting, Siddhesh! While intended for freer flow of communication and information sharing, I believe Facebook-type social networking sites are instead unsuspectingly adapting our behavior to make us users, suckers for trivial gratification. As you rightly point out, we begin to "expect" instant likes on everything from our haircut to a new car -- so anything short of 12 comments is disappointing.

I wonder how this re-aligning of individualistic incentives will play out in a corporate environment where team dynamics and team success matter more. It'll be an interesting experiment to see what effect the inflation of expectation has in the workplace culture.
