Salesforce Chatter lets employees set up profiles to connect with coworkers, issue status updates to say what they’re up to, and subscribe to feeds from people–and from applications. Also for collaboration, it lets people join groups to share updates and content. The service integrates with today’s two hot social-networking services, Twitter and Facebook. Salesforce showcased the new Chatter Mobile offering Wednesday at its Cloudforce London event. The mobile version lets users monitor their Chatter feeds, which include posts from colleagues and alerts from apps, as well as post status updates and comment on conversations from their devices.
Salesforce said Chatter Mobile will be available at no additional charge to Salesforce CRM and Force.com subscribers. Salesforce is expected to launch Chatter Mobile for BlackBerry, the iPad, the iPhone and the new iPod Touch later this year, and for Android devices in the first half of 2011.
