"A few years ago we launched a “microblogging” system called Yammer at Capgemini. Yammer is a private and secure enterprise social network that allows colleagues to hold conversations, read posts and actively collaborate with co-workers in real-time. It is contributing to the collective consciousness of the 25,000 people who subscribe to it, a consciousness that is continually shifting and updating, as those people constantly learn and share new experiences."

"I recently met with Maria Ogneva from software vendor Yammer at the SXSW interactive conference to talk about microblogging within the enterprise and activity streams. Microblogging allows employees to send direct and broadcast messages to each other, similar in concept to Twitter but within the company. Activity streams complement them by allowing employees to keep track of activities and messages from many different networks of people, groups and even applications in a stream of content over time, again conceptually similar to Twitter."

"Imagine an enterprise version of friendfeed as your social network/microblogging/activity stream eg. Socialcast

Firstly, let’s get this out of the way…when having a discussion, and you need to write an extended reply, you don’t need to use email as the enterprise activity stream allows more than 140 characters…which is good as this doesn’t split up the conversation.

Now imagine if an enterprise activity stream allowed you to follow your email client (of course no-one else could do this for privacy reasons)."

"Earlier this week I attended the UK launch event for just another Twitter style microblogging tool for the enterprise like Chatter or Yammer or Signals inside SocialText. This one's called tibbr. Some people would have been underwhelmed and said "so what?", but I got excited - I can see some huge potential here, and I'd argue that every enterprise should be taking a serious look at this product. Let me try and explain."

"Social has its own Pareto rule: 90-9-1 versus the old-fashioned 80-20. It means that 1% of people creates content, 9% curates it, and the remaining 90% is consuming it. That’s not a very homogeneous group, is it? Yet, when it comes to paying the bill, all of them are considered equal."

"Le centre de recherche IBM TJ Watson et le Center for Social Software ont publié une étude sur l’usage du micro-blogging en entreprise.
Cette étude a été réalisée en comparant simultanément l’utilisation par les collaborateurs d’un outil interne propriétaire (BlueTwit) et de la célèbre plateforme Twitter.
La seule différence notable entre les deux plateformes de microblogging étant la limite de caractère : 140 pour Twitter et 250 pour BlueTwit."

"Are you using Twitter to reach your customers and followers? Do you update your status on Facebook several times a day? Maybe you daily ask questions of one of your specialized LinkedIn groups?

You can replicate this experience inside your organization. There are a number of internal solutions that allow employees to share messages and information with each other, including Yammer and Socialtext. Laurence Smith, Vice President of Global Learning & Development at LG Electronics in Seoul, Korea has become an advocate of Yammer as a way to drive greater innovation in the design of the company's training programs.

"Internal microblogging provides companies similar benefits to services like Twitter, but adds a layer of privacy, by sharing the information only within your company. This enables you to provide status updates internally, which you would not share with the public. For example, you can mention customer accounts, codenames, future projects, and other "internal-only" things. (last sentence added after original post) "

I recently spoke with Samuel Driessen, Information Architect at Océ, about their enterprise micro-messaging experiences. Océ is a leading international provider of digital document management technology and services. Samuel is located in the Netherlands and his responsibilities include both the information architecture for structured data in applications such as PLMS and SAP and the unstructured content in places such as email and knowledge management programs.

“Perhaps even more impressively, this growth has come despite a lack of widespread adoption by children, teens, and young adults. In June 2009, only 16 percent of Twitter.com website users were under the age of 25. Bear in mind persons under 25 make up nearly one quarter of the active US Internet universe, which means that Twitter.com effectively under-indexes on the youth market by 36 percent.”

We examined the activity of a random sample of 300,000 Twitter users in May 2009 to find out how people are using the service. We then compared our findings to activity on other social networks and online content production venues. Our findings are very surprising.

Twitter is fueling Enterprise 2.0 and changing the sales process by opening up how providers and clients discover, interact and close deals with each other. It’s not hard to imagine that all sales forces will be Twitter-based within a few years (if not Twitter, some other system that ties providers and clients into open networks). Viewed in this light, closed “Twitter” systems like Yammer that keep corporate data and communications more private would limit the sales process to the narrow channels that existed pre-Twitter

Third, and perhaps most importantly, it is very easy for people to join, and to self-organize around topics, companies, individuals, and events. In this sense it is an incredibly "democratic" medium — with all the control at the ends of the network. Our Diamond Fellow David Reed wrote in the Harvard Business Review many years ago about the power of self-forming networks, so potent because of their innate flexibility.

"Not only are employers looking for better candidates, but ones that are well versed in social media and seeking out opportunities," said social media expert and president of Affect Strategies Sandra Fathi. "These mediums are here to stay and also a great way to differentiate yourself."

Not only are valuable connections forged with potential employers and colleagues on sites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and LinkedIn, but openings are also posted there, sometimes in lieu of job boards.

One way to define various tools (or ways to communicate) and how they differ from each other is to visually position them in various dimensions. For this purpose, I have developed a simple positioning model that I call "Positioning Model for Communication Tools".
