Communication is constantly changing. In our private lives we use many ways to communicate – increasingly mobile. The use depends on the message, the accessibility and the social proximity to the receiver.

But how do we communicate at work? Telephone, Fax and E-Mail are dominating daily work routine. 10 Years ago, we were fascinated about the possibilities and the rapidness of E-Mail. But today in comparison to our new communication tools it feels like the old letter post, slow and formal.

Blogs, discussion boards, instant messaging, social networks and increasingly microblogging are offering new opportunities to contact other people and exchange opinions. Along this way, the range of our communication extends significantly. We feel much closer to family, friends, colleagues and other people we don’t want to lose sight of.

Wouldn’t it be desirable to use a communication tool that combines these advantages of modern communication in our daily work routine?

Convince yourself and have a look at our presentation:

The potential is in communication and the open exchange between people.

Valuable ideas and good thoughts are not only born when we are sitting in front of our pc. Often they appear on the train, in the hotel or an walk. We have developed a mobile client for mobile phones and PDAs for this purpose. The tool is basesd on Java and uses Communote’s new JSON API. It supports a wide range of devices, including the Blackberry.

Our team members Andreas and Enrico presented a preview version of the mobile client last week at the MobileCamp in Dresden. You can find additional background information on mobile microblogging usage on their slides:

The first european conference on microblogging took place in Hamburg/Germany on January 23-24, 2009. MBC09 was a mashup format of conference and barcamp. Many interesting people from the german microblogging scene gathered there together with a number of internation guests, such as Evan Prodomou the inventor of the open source service identi.ca.

Main topics at the event were corporate twittering, internal enterprise microblogging, business models, microblogging clients for microblogging and also some technical aspects.

MBC09 was a great opprotunitiy for us to present the enterprise version of Communote to the public. The slides are available on slideshare, the video will follow.

Martin & Dirk had two great days in Hamburg filled with lots of interesting talks. Some of the people we met even started their enterprise Communote account during the session already. Thank you all very much for your interest and also the valueable feedback given to us. Further development of our service will benefit a lot from that.

Communote is proud sponsor of Europe’s first Microblogging Conference on 23/24 January in Hamburg. There will be a presentation of Communote and there will be a special highlight: the start of our Communote Enterprise beta.

This was the title of our presentation (in German) today at GeNeMe08, an academic forum on communities and new media held in Dresden/Germany today. The focus of the joint presentation of Martin Böhringer and myself was on the possible uses of microblogs in order to improve the information communication in projects teams. We also presented how blogs, micromessaging and tagging have influenced the developement of our new microblogging service communote.com.

During the presentation we also showed communote.com in public for the first time. We demonstrated how communote can be used in projects, sales or IT management. We will be presenting more in the coming days.
