Abstract
SmallBlue is a social networking application that unlocks the valuable business intelligence of ´who knows what?´, ´who knows whom?´ and ´who knows what about whom´ within an organization, without requiring explicit involvement of individuals. The aim of SmallBlue is to locate knowledgeable colleagues, communities, and knowledge networks in companies. The suite also helps users manage their personal networks, and reach out to their extended network (the friends of their friends) to find and access expertise and information.
