Microsoft to offer Chatter-like OfficeTalk
This could be great for Microsoft technologies.
I have to say that when I first heard about SalesForce.com's Chatter, I wasn't intrigued. It sounded like "just another enterprise micro-blogging tool." When I caught up with a contact who had recently moved over to work for SalesForce, and I got the scoop on what Chatter really is I was incredibly impressed.
The concept of not only being able to follow people within my company but also things is very cool. So any entity that I create on the Force.com platform can participate in my Chatter stream. That is powerful. I could follow a client, an opportunity, a project, a team... hopefully if and when Microsoft gets on the micro-blogging bandwagon, they take the same approach to allowing anything to be followed.
