Chatter Other Advice
Don't choose, just turn it on and hope for the best. Chatter needs love and attention in order to be successful. Look at how your teams are currently collaborating, so as to see how you can meet current challenges with the new tool.
Have a rollout plan with the early adopters or the Chatter cheerleaders.
Consider setting up some groups before Go Live, such as ask the CEO, have company-wide updates, look at the current distribution lists for ideas, etc.
Get leadership buy-in or have some higher management post and encourage for the communications to be moved to Chatter.
Make it fun: Allow subgroups for Friday Funny's or for GIFs to be shared.
