For those of you who have not heard of twitter( I doubt if there is anyone), Twitter is a free online service for friends and family to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

Though twitter is a simple tool for public micro blogging, it doesn’t fit well into the context of work related collaboration. Corporate version of micro blogging will have to be a tool that is integrated into application that the corporate uses for collaboration. In IOTAP we extensively use our Sharepoint intranet for collaboration, so we have built a Twitter for Sharepoint solution. We named it SPitter to indicate that it is based on Sharepoint. 

When our employees want to share thier status, a message or a link to others within our organization they just post it to the SPitter area and the message gets added to the updates section.
