In other words, it solves the problem Bill French identified: "Email is where knowledge goes to die". It is also easy for people to understand - since its just like sending an email (except that the information is now searchable, browseable and subscribable). Meets a business need AND easy to understand - that's why microblogging (social messaging) has a real edge.

We have a number of communities on our intranet and features such as yammer, blogging etc are available as tools. Some communities face a number of regulatory issues therefore social media is out of the question as they require a very control collaboration model. Other are happy to use collaboration features, however, they gain acceptance only when there is visible leadership, support from the top of their community and built into a knowledge sharing strategy for the community. Many of our employees are also working remotely much of the week and there are still issues with connectivity - another barrier to participation.
