First, companies need to get comfortable with the idea of using microblogs as a communications tool. Then, suppliers will need to demonstrate they can provide the features (including security) that businesses want/need. It may be that companies such as Yammer and Present.ly are already well-positioned but adoption will take time simply because CIOs need to be won over by anything new. Probably a combination of both.

For example, I know of one business where staff have been using an internal microblogging tool to report on initiatives they are working on. The same as we use hash tags to monitor conversations on a particular topic, executives can track progress on projects that are underway.

Most of our work is still done by email which means it's private by default - no way for people to observe and participate in our workflow without being directly invited.
