Chapter 1. What’s New in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 My Sites?
My Sites have undergone a major transformation since Microsoft SharePoint 2007. In conjunction with the surge of social computing worldwide, these changes have propelled companies to rethink how SharePoint works in their environment. Organizations want to capture the enthusiasm behind social computing and provide mechanisms for users to connect with each other while at the same time giving them a space to call their own. Not only does this give users a sense of community, it brings real value by providing a forum in which users can share ideas, documents, notes, tags, and changes in personal information.
