Huddle Workspacesis powered by Huddle, who describe themselves as the ‘Enterprise Content Collaboration Platform’. This application is extremely useful if you have coding projects to collaborate on, however, it is not one that can adapt for other purposes. Github application users have the ability to ‘follow’ other users or ‘watch’ projects – with the number of followers and projects shown on each user profile. Powered by LinkedIn, the app allows a user to showcase their GitHub coding projects on their profil, see which of their connections is most active on GitHub, and gives them the option to tell their network about the app activity through network updates. The first of the collaborative applications is GitHub. Positive points for this application include notifications if a user downloads your content, and the ability to upload anything for people to use. This application could be extremely useful if the user’s account is linked to the phone or web app as well, and being the only sharing application on the website, it’s the only real option. This application allows for sharing of content on a user’s profile however, when the app is added, you have to either connect or register for a new Box account – and there is a limit on the amount of files you can upload (which can be upgraded to 50GB). The tagline for the Box.net app is “start sharing…today!”. In terms of sharing and collaborating on content and projects, there are four application available – Box.net is the only sharing application available, with the three collaborative apps being Github, Huddle Workspaces and Manymoon Projects and Teamspaces. By adding an application to their profile, a user can highly increase their chances of catching the eye of a future recruiter. When adding an application, the user is given two options – to display it on their profile, or to display it on a console on their LinkedIn homepage. Applications cover a variety of subjects – from creative portfolios, to travel, to blogs – and having already covered the blogging and presentation applications, I will now look at the Sharing and Collaborating applications. LinkedIn, the most widely-used social recruitment site, provides a directory of applications available for users to add to their profiles. UPDATE: LinkedIn has discontinued all apps, meaning none of these work.
