Salesforce.com Goes Social With Chatter Collaboration Tool

Chatter, which works inside SF.com, uses Facebook- and Twitter-like features such as profiles, status updates and real-time feeds to help employees collaborate on documents, business processes, projects and application data.

"Salesforce.com Tuesday unveiled Chatter -- nicknamed the "Facebook for business" -- a communication and collaboration tool designed to help organizations work more efficiently and effectively.

'Salesforce Chatter is the most exciting thing I've worked on in my career,' said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO of Salesforce.com, in a statement. 'Delivering Chatter is a seminal moment and one that marks the arrival of Cloud 2.'"
