A key difference between Chatter and typical social media is that everything that takes place on Chatter stays on Chatter -- it will never be published anywhere else.

This sounds like a decent idea to make collaborating online easier within a workplace. The only problem I see is how they are going to make any money. If they charge a monthly fee for a company, they don't have much to offer for why as it really is just a place acting as a common ground. Several other ideas like this are being developed and it will be interesting to see how an organization will try to remain sustainable.
