Share insights and observations or drive a discussion

One of the most exciting new communication tools is the secure micro-blog. It creates a way of exchanging ideas which is more interactive and efficient than email. Its streaming nature provides a pulse on different ideas for all participants. Starting a thread is as simple as entering plain text in the edit field. Add a Web link or attach a document to add further clarification.

Use micro-blogging as a way to introduce new opportunities or concepts and get a feel for the sentiment amongst the group. Use it for informal topics such as feedback on the location for an upcoming strategy meeting or publish a weekly update on the status of a new initiative.

Micro-blogging is so user-friendly that there are no usability constraints. Precisely because of this it is well-suited in quick response situations, project-specific discussions or to drive the discussion on situations that unfold over longer timelines.
