We also see microblogging become more and more popular within companies. As for the case of our enterprise offering http://www.communote.com we see most of the benefit come from microsharing – sharing thoughts, ideas, comments, problems, status messages and even protocols and documentations. Hence, the microblog becomes some kind of organisational memory. The difference is that it fills just while you are getting your work done.

Hi,

A very good note about these interesting platforms.

I kindly invite you to take a look at http://www.cirip.ro/?lg=en, a microblogging platform specially designed for education ( for courses enhancement, or for delivering entire online courses – http://tinyurl.com/2paperen ) and bussines, which provides the posibility to create communities as private/public groups.

Other facilities: * to embed in notes: images, audio and (live) video files, presentations, pdf, doc, xls files; * feeds monitoring; * statistics and visual representations: timeline, network, tagcloud for users and groups, etc.

A Happy New Year,
Carmen

Great post. Microblogging is undoubtedly becoming the preferred method of communication for many businesses, and hopefully mine will too someday. I also wanted to present the option for those wanting a custom install on their own server. Identi.ca, the open source Twitter clone, has its software freely available for download here: http://bit.ly/9lBt One of the best things about it is that its API is almost fully Twitter compliant, so desktop clients like Twhirl and Spaz support it.
