Why integration of ESME in OFBiz?

After my proposal of integrating ESME in OFBiz some users were wondering if ESME is useful to add to OFBiz or not,

therefore i posted this email in the OFBiz mailing list to promote the idea.

1. It started with a request of our customers to have a chat possibility in e-commerce for new users to ask questions via chat. I looked at 2 chat open source frameworks. Then ESME was proposed here in the mailing list. My opinion is that if ESME can do chat too, then better go for ESME so we have also twitter functions.

2. ESME allows to use the twitter principle in a protected business environment: developers/marketeers exchanging ideas, announcing news and problems. (yes you should use OFBiz in your company to see these benefits)
If you are still not convinced of twitter in a business environment: get a twitter account and follow me: @hansbak i will keep you informed about ESME within OFBiz and you will have the opportunity for point 3 as a bonus.

3. ESME was actually born in the SAP environment and many people from this environment now getting exposed to OFBiz because we are looking at ESME too and the ESME people "retweet" my ESME experiences to their network of twitter accounts.

I was not convinced about this twitter stuff but using this for my ESME investigations has shown me that it is actually pretty exiting getting to know so much new people in such a short time.
