Our Google+ Hits

No one misses our intranet, Google groups, blogs or wikis. We turned all of them off, no crying.

A new employee has quick access to knowledge and discussions from the past

Ability to know at a glance what's going on and what's hot at the company

Much easier to identify people potential in some subjects

ciandt.comis built by public posts from our people and pages on Google+

Google+ Translate Chrome Extension stopped working (multi-region communities need it)

Our Google+Misses

lack of a “Communities API”

see all communities created by colleagues and search among domain communities for content

we are unable to see a "domain view" of google+ posts (only for circles)

Labels on users outside our domains participating in our communities

Usage metrics (popular posts, engagement, etc.)

we are unable to rename our own communities after they have 500+ members

hangouts on air restricted to our domain
