Abstract

The social media tools available at public platform are soon becoming as user friendly and cost effective way of corporate communication. It has become a new way of collaborating among the team members of virtual teams deployed in software development projects. The open culture offered by these platforms helps business in general and software development projects in specific to accelerate growth through innovation, communication and active participation of the employees in their workplace. The study aims at comparing the four social media tools namely Facebook, blog, google plus and enterprise collaborative tools. The tools can be chosen from the long list as per the need of the task in the project.
