tibbr– soon the information will come looking for you
After months of hectic activity, we finally launched tibbr™ yesterday. tibbr is a social networking tool for the enterprise that couples the usability aspects of social micro-blogging sites with a unique subject-based addressing approach to deliver relevant information in real time to business users.
I am excited about tibbr for a couple of reasons – first, this represents a natural extension to what we do today in the enterprise, getting applications to talk to each other; we now make relevant events available to business users in real time to help them make the right decisions; second – this showcases an end-to-end composite application that has been built and delivered on the TIBCO Silver™ platform. Based on the initial response, it does seem like the press and analyst communities are quite excited about tibbr as well. “TIBCO takes after twitter” and “TIBCO’s tibbr aims to be enterprise twitter” are interesting reads. tibbr is generating quite a few tweets in the Tweetesphere as well. I expect more in-depth coverage in the next few weeks.
In my blog post a few weeks back I did allude to this – getting the right information to the right person at the right time. The subject-based addressing mechanism allows users to subscribe to relevant information irrespective of whether it is a person or an enterprise application that is generating this event. In the enterprise it is not just about people, but rather contextual information and expertise about relevant subjects. A subject can represent a user, an application, or a process relevant to a particular business user in an organization. tibbr filters out all the static and unwanted information clutter by keeping the focus on subjects. Want to know if the purchase order relevant to your project was approved or if the component has gone through the appropriate QA cycle or if the legal contract been signed on the deal? Simply subscribe to that subject feed.
Excited yet? Need to know more about some of the internals of tibbr? Make sure to register to test drive tibbr. Also make sure visit the Silver blogs next week. Matt Quinn (SVP, Products and Technology at TIBCO) who conceptualized and leads the design and development effort on tibbr will provide a “behind the scenes” narrative on how we actually went about conceptualizing, building tibbr and scaling tibbr via the TIBCO Silver elastic platform.
