What's New in the April 2015 Release of IBM Connections Social Cloud

A new post on SocializeMe:As we run our final checklist to turn on the new features, I wanted to give you a heads up as to what to expect next week.  I had the opportunity to give a preview of these to the audience at Social Connections, the independent IBM Connections user group, last week in Boston.

The conference was great as usual.  It was completely sold out as usual was great. I had the opportunity to meet with developers (check out this related post) as well as customers/users.  I learned about how they are driving the culture shift and increasing the adoption of Connections within the organization.  So much insight! The next Social Connections has been announced for October 2015 in Stuttgart, Germany (Oktoberfest anyone?)

So on to next week, here's a few things that you can expect:

• New custom layouts for communities so that you can tailor your communications to your team
• Drag-n-drop apps between columns in a single step
• Responsive apps so that they adjust to the right column width
• Type-ahead search for recently visited content to get back to where you've been faster
• Access Activities via the mobile device

Here's a sample of a community with apps moved around:

To give you a visual idea of what to expect, check out these couple of slides:
