I am debating writing a post about how SharePoint can be used as a tool to aid Internal Communications, but I wanted to do a bit of research first. Can you let me know how you get your messages / communications out to staff in your organization? Here are the options that come to mind (will update as you suggest them) :
- Announcement list
- Publishing / Wiki pages (for news items)
- Blog posts
- Discussions
- Surveys
- SharePoint Social  (e.g. activity feeds, tagging)
- Yammer
- SharePoint Alerts
- Community Sites
What about 3rd party tools? Do you utilise an SharePoint Add-ons to help with Internal Communications? Does anyone use any media such as video / podcasts etc?
UPDATE : I have written this up in How to use SharePoint for internal communications and also illustrated how DocRead can be used for Internal Communications.
We have just finished user acceptance testing of NewsGator/Sitrions Internal Communications product and will be rolling into production in the next few weeks.
