I use Twitter within the context of my work to of course build up a network of inspirational people who are like minded about web based corporate software. Already the amount of focused and relevant  information I am discovering greatly exceeds the value of all my conventional RSS feeds and general browsing activities combined.

The way that I use Twitter is almost exclusively to point at, and to be guided towards – more substantive information on the internet – generally recent and relevant Blog posts.

What is exciting me greatly with Claromentis is that the new Innovate application ( customers can localize the name of course ) can be used in exactly the same way.

Tweeting about Intranet Information

As the screen shot illustrates I am dropping into the support stream a reference to a new document in the corporate document management system.

In fact I can reference anything at all in the intranet as they all have unique URLs – for example a persons profile, a News article, a sales opportunity, a task in a project  or a content managed page – to name just a few – can all be commented on in any of my streams and so draw the attention of my corporate followers to the source that contains significantly more information – if they are interested.

It is great to see the excitement that this generates in those customers that have been involved in our review and beta programs.  Certainly I absolutely know the value of working like this – it is exactly a corporate extension of the way I get so much value from my personal use of Twitter and Blogs.
