TIBCO tibbr

Tibbr - is one of the enterprise twitter-clones, created by Tibco. And it has to compete with such services as Yammer, Salesforce Chatter, IBM Connections, NewsGator and dozens of others. In these circumstances - it's not enough to make a quality product - you need to jump over your head. That's what Tibco is doing. The new feature - Tibbr GEO - is an enterprise geo-location service with augmented reality elements. How does it work? Imagine doctor coming to patient's room - he takes out his smartphone, opens Tibbr and sees the history of messages about this patient, posted by his colleagues. Or airport agent coming to a gate sees that it's closed - he opens Tibbr, and finds out that the flight was moved to another gate. Or engineer comes into the work shop, looks at the machines through his smartphone and sees that one machine has low oil, and another has broken part.

More and more large IT vendors engage into social software business. According to the rumors, Microsoft will soon release its microblogging tool OfficeTalk that has been under development for a year. And another big software company Tibco today has launched its social intranet solution tibbr. It's another Facebook for Enterprise clone, but with unique features that make tibbr, perhaps, the most complete solution for large companies. First, tibbr is the most powerful social aggregator. It allows you to follow not only co-workers messages, but also any updates in enterprise IT systems (e.g. ERP, CRM ...), in RSS-flows and external social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn ...) .
