“Obayoo is a new kind of enterprise collaboration tool, built on the idea that communicating and sharing information within your company or organization can be fast, easy and productive. And maybe even fun,” the service representatives said.
The service is meant as a way of offering all the benefits of a micro-blogging platform to enterprises and also the flexibility to have their needs met. While Twitter has established itself as a useful tool there’s an increasing demand for better control over services coming from a number of companies.
Obayoo puts forward a nice and neat Twitter-like interface, but also offers some handy features such as groups, threaded replies or status updates, among which there can be multiple files and which you can share with whomever you wish. Besides that, you are able to save all the links, images, files and hashtags and access them later.
A great feature is the option to use various outside sources for content. This means you can add RSS feeds, or ‘pursue’ Twitter users. Google News and blog searches will be also available.
