Another interesting one is Snipia: http://www.snipia.com/
I'm involved with this project. It's more "get it done" microblogging (ex: embedded tasks) than "communicate" oriented. Snipia is still in alpha so just as with others, time will tell.

Please take a look at www.akibot.com.
Akibot is the first semantic actionable micro-blogging platform for the enterprise. Akibot is a tool that not only allows real-time group collaboration and awareness through short messages, but it also understands those messages and, if applicable, takes action.

Excellent read. Although we're a little behind here in the public sector, many of us are pushing to at least explore if not implement the Web2.0 wave...

Ari - great comment. And yes, I agree with your KM recommendation. It's very 1.0. We should have used a more up to date term.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that you can assign groups in Yammer. You can however assign groups in Utterli.

it's funny when half of the comments are about other services and they are comments from representatives of those other services. I want some real world user comments.

We launch Upswing 360 in November, in which microblogging and social networking are simply features to a purposeful business application for a business team: on-demand CRM. Upswing 360 aligns context, content, and community - internal business teams - for a specific use. Read more about Upswing 360 here: http://www.upswingcrm.com/b...

Loving the feedback. There are a number of players that we didn't include in this first pass (thanks Dennis for pointing out ESME). Keep adding them to the comments - we can do a follow up post and include all the relevant players. You can also see a great list of these folks provided by my friend, Laura Fitton - http://mashable.com/2008/09...

Best,

Another potential value of microblogging to the enterprise is to create new connections between employees and to grow existing bonds, makeing for tighter teams and enhanced morale. Take, for example, the culture at Zappos, where knowing about each other personally is encouraged by the way the CEO and other managers use Twitter. Humanizing the workplace through technology can be ironic, but microblogging is better suited to it than previous technologies.

Can you assign projectgroups in Yammer? - e.g. as Tabs (compareable to chatrooms)
If not this would be a nice feature.
