WORKING... FINALLY!
Is it possible to build a web application that really fits people needs? Of course you can: to know what people need you must ask them.
This is how the idea of WorkOutLoud - a new product built with ruby on rails - was born.
WorkOutLoud will share its construction process on the web with the users.

Yammer, Twitter platform for the enterprise
Have you seen Yammer.com?
It's a web application similar to Twitter thought from the beginning to be used in the enterprise. I've decided to give it a chance testing the free version, and to make more real I've invited some of the people that I work with. The real effect doesn't seem to be so viral as I expected could actually be, even if day after day people are beginning to use it. It's a sort of bulletin board system, where every new person invited to the club will probably add new colleagues to the community.
Thinking about the potential of the platform, I'm not sure that a format like this is the right one for the enterprise. Is social networking actually useful in order to increase companies productivity and to better support organization in general?
Twitter is becoming more and more useful because instead of having to follow hundreds of blogs I can now switch to people micro blogging channel, which is updated daily and definitely shorter. It's easier for me and I can be reached by information even on my mobile phone.
I can't find the same level of usefulness in Yammer right now
