Activity stream

Since the introduction of the News Feed on September 6, 2006,[1] other major websites have introduced similar implementations for their own users.

[2] Several major websites with activity stream implementations have already opened up their activity streams to developers to use, including Facebook and MySpace.

[3][4] Though activity stream arises from social networking, nowadays it has become an essential part[5] of business software.

Enterprise social software is used in different types of companies to organize their internal communication and acts as an addition to traditional corporate intranet.

At the same time other software providers such as tibbr, Central Desktop, and Wrike offer activity stream as an integrated part of their collaboration software solution.
