In practice, enterprise microblogging – the posting of short, ad hoc messages that colleagues can follow like a stock ticker – has produced surprising business benefits, including quicker information exchange, richer problem solving and deeper customer satisfaction.

The new whitepaper explores these benefits and gives readers a framework for evaluating microblogging tools, including Twitter, for the enterprise. Twitter use is up nearly 1,400 percent this year, according to the Nielsen Company, and Gartner predicts 80 percent of social software platforms will include enterprise microblogging as a standard feature by 2011.

Microblogging is one of a full range of powerful capabilities in NewsGator Social Sites 3.0, the company’s enterprise social computing application.
