(newser) – IBM has released a software tool named 'Atlas' that aims to track and analyze statistical relationships among individuals in a corporate setting, MIT Technology Review reports. Employees are given the opportunity to partake in business-adapted online practices—blogging, social grouping, bookmarking, organizing projects—and Atlas creates a "social graph" of the relationships formed among participants. • An employee could use Atlas to find an expert in a particular field and also show mutual contacts who could make the introduction. "As people start using social software and expanding their professional networks, there's actually a lot of value in the relationships that you can determine from statistical analysis of that data," says an IBM project manager.
