Unsurprisingly, Salesforce is seeing rapid adoption of its social collaboration platform Chatter among its existing customers after launching to the public last week. In its first week of general availability, Chatter has been integrated by 10,000 of Salesforce's 77,300 existing customers, or 13 percent of Salesforce's customer base. Salesforce CEO and co-founder Marc Benioff said in a statement: "We've never seen this kind of excitement around a product release before." Chatter was made available to the public last week after four months in private beta. Announced last November, Chatter leverages what Benioff calls the Cloud 2 , delivering realtime access to data and information, using social sources, such as YouTube and Twitter.
