I love the Twitter culture and community, and I spend quite a bit of time using Twitter. For us, it has helped expand our consulting business, which is a real measure. link] EllisTweet Given the volume of yammering about how to measure social networking success, I must say that this post, Jay, stands out.

That’s why I love a tool like Yammer. Yammer is a microblogging application similar to Twitter, only it’s focused on businesses. Sending a message using Yammer is a combination of sending IMs and sending questions to email distribution lists. Not every user base is ready to just jump right in and use a wiki.

As your grassroots community takes the next step to becoming an official one, what challenges will you face? Way back in 2008, microblogging and enterprise collaboration platform Yammer launched at TechCrunch50. Official communities that began with large budgets are struggling to maintain their success with diminished resources.

As you might imagine, neither of these conclusions bode well for the long-term health of a virtual community behind the firewall. You’d be surprised at some of the mind-numbingly boring stuff government consultants blog about. People have asked me to go out to Yammer and link back to their wiki pages. Cross-promote.

I was rarely able to carve out an hour a day to read and comment on other blogs, discussion forums, online communities and books. We all face these competing priorities, but we also have to make community participation and professional growth a priority as well. In 2010, I hope that I’m able to turn this into reality.

After using both Plurk and Twitter pretty heavily, I’ve come to the conclusion that Plurk is best at its features for community-building, whereas Twitter succeeds more with its interface that bolsters information-sharing. After all, the full disclosure is that I am the community and marketing director of Mashable. Great post!

Use email less (internally) – One thing I’ve realized is that if I keep answering people’s emails, people will continue to send them to me, even if I explicitly tell them that they’re more likely to get a hold of me by posting their question/comment to my internal blog, contact me on Yammer, use my internal wiki page, etc.

It’s possible only when inter-team communication and client communication bottlenecks are gotten rid of. Social channels can offer shared spaces like online communities, which employees can use for project information inflow and outflow. The channels can also ease communication, and give workers access to an array of tools.
