In the last few years, the terms “Intranet 2.0” and “Social Intranet” started appearing, describing the development of more interactive and communicative intranets.

An internal microblog can become a useful channel of communication within an enterprise. Similar to having lunch or coffee together, or chatting in the hallway, employees exchange information, news, ideas or project details in a microblog.
