thank you Sonja and loca.li ! :)
"Welcome to the sadly wistful phase of Web 2.0. The big winners – Facebook, Twitter, Zynga and LinkedIn—have already been separated from the obvious losers—Friendster, Plurk, Friendfeed and a host of names we’ve already forgotten."
Do you use any of these in your company? What are good alternatives to yammer?
Self-hosted preferably. It seems Status.net aka laconi.ca is the only free/open source solution, right?

There's an article on techcrunch "Zuckerberg: “Guess What? Nobody Wants To Make Lists.” - I do not agree and I commented
without friends lists facebook would be useless for me. i have about 20 of them because i do not want to share everything with co-workers or whoever. i have a very mixed network, …. when uploading pictures of my kids i share them with my close friends only (a list). don’t want everyone to be able to chat with me (another list), i do not want all coworkers to know about my very personal live i.e. and i do not want to bother all my network with metalcore videos some of my friends love (another list). sometimes i share with german speaking friends only, sometimes only with contacts from the USA…. there’s too much noise for everyone already, why bother the others?
i don’t think people dont like lists, they probably don’t know about them, or don’t know how to use them…
In Germany now as well...
