NASA Is Finally Killing Spacebook

NASA Internal Memo: Spacebook Being Decommissioned
“On June 1 Spacebook, NASA’s social network site, will be decommissioned. All data will be archived and all user accounts will be closed. Spacebook was implemented in 2009 as a social network for civil servants and contractors to collaborate and share information. Unfortunately participation has not been as high as anticipated. On average, only 14 users log on per weekday and zero on the weekends. There are alternate internal social media tools, such as Yammer…”
Keith’s note: Another reinvented wheel that needed to be uninvented. I can only imagine what they spent to create and maintain this bad copy of Facebook.

    Which city gets to display the decommissioned Spacebook server as a consolation prize for not getting a Shuttle?

    I didn’t even know about it or I would have used it. But NASA has yammer.

    I didn’t hear about this until I got the email announcing its cancellation. I would have used it otherwise. It had good potential for getting in touch with individuals with common interests across the agency. Oh well I guess the NEN serves the same function in a way.
