Amazing Social Christmas Tree in Canada - You have to see this! #socbiz #ibmsocialbiz #ibmpartner #ls12
A friend, Robert Dowling, just shared this with me! HOW cool!
This tree is in Toronto's Union Station and its lights are powered by taking "positive Christmas comments from social networks like Twitter and Facebook and using the data to spark 30,000 LED lights."
Sheldon Levine of Sysomos, the Toronto-based analytics company behind the project, explains:
"Each color of light represents Christmas spirit coming from a different social channel. White lights represent social networks like Twitter and public Facebook statuses, red for blog and forum posts, green for online news and blue lights for messages sent through text [directly to] ChristmasSpiritTree.ca. The more social media spirit that comes in at one time the brighter the tree shines."
The Social Floating Christmas Tree! #ibmsocialbiz #ls12 #connect12 #ibm #socbiz
My friends from Brazil sent me this picture of the Christmas tree that floats around in the Harbor!
What a great analogy with Social!!
Having the flexibility to float into workgroups with Social Tools, and have teams spring up around a topic or project. I believe that this is the new way of working and this tree visually showcases the freedom and flexibility that this approach brings to the table!
Merry Christams!
