• Lotus Connections now boasts a Twitter-like service that lets employees establish and maintain publish/subscribe dialogues within their organizations.

• At its Center for Social Software symposium being held this week in Cambridge, Mass., IBM announced the release of a microblogging and file-sharing facility bolstering the Lotus Connections suite of enterprise social networking tools. The Twitter-like service enables employees to establish and maintain publish/subscribe dialogues within their organizations.

  Additional features added to Lotus Connections include support for iPhone and Nokia S60 mobile devices, including microbrowser access to Profiles, Activities and the Lotus Connections blogging tool.

  It's taken awhile for me to come around to the idea of creating "enterprise versions" of social networking tools. But recent exposure to Lotus Connections in context of IBM's Smart Office Jam project has begun the inevitable process of conversion. These technologies look and work better in enterprise packaging that ensures security and manageability, and exposes power tools to users instead of noise.
