You don’t seem to realize SMS integration is key to the function of micro messaging platforms. Otherwise, an AIR app is the best way to use these tools, not going to some destination website (unless for some infrequent config).

Looks to me like everyone is bagging both companies, except the obvious employee (naffis) and ‘Dave’.

We use private twitter profiles, works fine. We’re only 7 people though.

Socialcast.com should not be overlooked. It has a much better user interface than either Presently or Yammer and is much more functional as a long term knowledge base. It has no character limit (Presently limits posts to 140 characters) and allows multiple domains (Yammer limits users to a single domain).

Socialcast also has a bookmarklet which makes it great for accumulating knowledge online without having to be logged in to the site. You can also use the bookmarkelt to update your status right from the browser (again without being forced to login).

I spoke with the founder by phone earlier this week and it sounds like some exciting new features are on the way that will allow Socialcast to quickly bypass the early entrants. I’d really look forward to TechCrunch arranging an early preview and review of Socialcast’s new features.

It looks like these will be the 3 big players in this exciting new area of Enterprise 2.0 and based on our research I wouldn’t be surprised if Socialcast winds up on top over the long term.

Competition is always welcome.

Personally though, this is a perfect example of not having a defensible business with a “wide economic moat” as Warren Buffett would say.

These two are going to battle it out while Twitter sits, watches, learns and implements because Twitter is the one with the most brand recognition and that is what is going to matter unless somebody really differentiates.

I switched from Hotmail to Gmail because the organization was better, but it’s still email and the basics can be accomplished by all.

Each will make money no doubt and the pie is going to be big enough for all to co-exist but the big success story is always #1, not 2 or 3.

My money is on Twitter to bust out with all these features and rake in the dough.

Yeah, and NNTP comes to mind too — but not even Netscape’s server products division could make it palatable to the Enterprise markets once IM and other discrete peer communication tools emerged.

Technically, the only value I can remember from that was Netscape -> iPlanet -> AOL -> Red Hat and specifically for the LDAP service side. But, it’s not like end users ever saw the underbelly or cared.

IRC is great for IRC people. Otherwise, it looks like the Matrix screen saver to a regular user that just wants to communicate.

I have a better idea.

Enable all your features for “Free” accounts then let those features expire in 60 days from account creation.

I am biased that providing you with payment information before I kick the tires is a bit of a stretch.
