Abstract :
We hypothesize that information shared on social media can work for distributed software teams as a surrogate of the social awareness, that is information that a person maintains about others in a social or conversational context, gained during informal face-to-face chats. Hence, we have developed a tool that extends a collaborative development environment by aggregating content from social networks and microblogs into developers´ workspace.
