Web Apps Through Salesforce

Chatter not the Only Saleforce App Worth Chatting About
Salesforce's new app "Chatter" looks a heck of a lot like Facebook. Just look at the similarities - the profile pic, the "wall," the tabs at the top... but Chatter can be used inside Salesforce's bundle of web-apps, customized to fit your business' needs.
The possibilities for this downsized or "personalized" social networking tool are numerous and thought-provoking. It's a social network that an employer won't mind being on in the workplace. After all, the only "friends" you can communicate with during the day are also in the building... so to speak.
Salesforce has an interesting niche, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it grow in the coming months and years. They allow developers to build web-apps to fit their own needs. The training videos are all free, and the web apps that are built are easy to use and pretty slim. Once the apps you need are built, they go on your dashboard - your personal user interface. So each employee in a business would have his/her own dashboard with the apps he/she needs to be efficient and productive. If an employee needs something new, he (or whoever does the development) can make a new app to fit that need. Cool.
