Team messaging solutions are exactly the kind of area where free software and federation should be able to get a foothold.

The most important network is the team and you can simply choose for the team to use the same tool. The federation part then becomes a bonus.

Back in 2008 I was perplexed that Yammer got any attention at all, when there was already StatusNet that could do the same things and more. What did they do right? Massive VC-backed marketing?

These days when everyone is becoming aware of control of data and the potential risks of cloud hosting, why aren't more corporations interested in products you can easily host yourself and even host internally? And why do so many of those that do have that interest go to SharePoint?
