The Rise of Micro-blogging Capability in Enterprise Collaboration Platforms
by Bill Ives
Twitter, like Facebook, has generated a number of business versions designed to better adapt to enterprise needs. At first, there were more pure play options such as Socialcast (see Socialcast Brings Twitter Style Functionality into the Enterprise). Soon afterwards the enterprise collaboration suites started to add micro-blogging capability within these functions. Socialtext was one of the first to do this. Now others have joined in and I have reviewed many of them here on the AppGap. Here is a list in somewhat random order of those I have covered so far with a link to the post that mentions their micro-blogging capability. Let me know if I left any out. I am confident that some form of micro-blogging will become pervasive across these types of enterprise 2.0 tool sets.
