@Tom, I would love to say that I have a list of every option out there and I have thoroughly tested and evaluated each one. There are so many options, and features available, and I do believe that each organization needs to look at its business issues to determine what solution will fit them – not the other way around. Yammer is easy because it is free and fairly simple to use, and so is Facebook (although I would never recommend that as a business social network). I have reviewed a few for my current company, and that would make a good blog topic. Thanks for the comment!

@Andy – Yammer is a micro-blogging platform, so that would work perfect in this example, and you are going to follow people with similar interests (using keywords and tags). The issue with email, is you don’t know who to reach out to, and as company size grows, “email all” is not an option. Social Networks enable you to find the right people to ask your question! The video does a great job at illustrating exactly how bad email is at handling this situation.

The problems that I see with micro-blogging at least in the example video is that the person that has the answer may not check your blog, or the time frame that you need an answer in is too small. In this case I believe something like yammer or the emails asking for information is the best option.

London has local tweets? God, next thing you know they are going to have the internet as well.
