At work, we had a directory that was really useful. You could type anyone's name in and it would pull up their office number, phone, cell, and reporting structure. It was really cool because it also showed a picture of them, which is really useful when working with people that are in other buildings and cities to put a face to the name and voice. For example, I can look up our CEO's picture and see that he looks like this (so I know to keep my mouth shut if he walks by)
Recently, we switched from this useful web app, to more of a facebook style application. It has a lot of the same information as before except there is a lot more customization that can be done by the individual such as adding hobbies, likes, dis-likes, what they are working on, and the ability to upload a custom picture. This apparently is much more control than we are able to handle. Here are some pictures I ran across just from today:
