Salesforce Chatter Mobile Brings Cloud 2 to BlackBerry and More

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.

“Chatter Mobile means you can know what is happening in your entire enterprise, wherever you are,” Benioff said in a statement. “The combination of devices like the iPad or the new iPod Touch with mobile apps like Chatter that push information to you in real-time are making the desktop obsolete.”

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.
