Hi Luis (and others) I'm sorry I can't attend today's session as it looks quite interesting. As for "what types of messages", I wrote a series of blog posts that provide a few examples of some of the more common uses. I hope you find them helpful: http://www.socialtext.com/blog/2010/04/enterprise-microblogging-particip...
Looking forward to the discussion on this. Seems like IT and corporate security policies are way behind on adapting to new(er) tech like microblogging, other than to try to stop it out of fear of the unknown.
