Akibot is like Yammer, a "Twitter for the enterprise" but with artificial intelligence. Not only it allows real-time group collaboration and awareness through short, instant messages, but it also understands those messages (through natural language processing) and, if applicable, takes action. Actions include scheduling, time tracking, CRM and information storage/inquiry. You may want to take a look at Akibot http://www.akibot.com.

It provides much of same functionality but with seemingly powerful real time collaboration tools. http://wave.google.com the video shows what might be a VERY sexy program. I can't wait to test it and see how it might integrate into our systems here. It will be interesting to see how Google Wave changes things.

(BTW, you've not struck out the Socialtext reference where you meant to mention SocialCast being buggy) A very important distinction between Socialtext and the other "twitter for the enterprise products" is that we offer much more than just microblogging. Socialtext is a full collaboration/social networking platform, offering micro-blogging PLUS personal homepages/dashboards, wikis, blogs, spreadsheets, profiles, activity streams, and more. We’ve found that employees don’t want “yet another standalone tool”, and instead greatly prefer Socialtext because it is a single integrated platform. You can create your content, aggregate information, find experts, etc all in one place. We can also bring in data from other systems either via RSS feeds, OpenSocial widgets, or API. If you’d like to know more about Socialtext, I’d be happy to help you. While you’ve changed your post to SocialCast, I’d still like to make sure you know about Socialtext.
