We are evaluating Confluence as a wiki and the foundation for a company intranet. We have previously used Yammer, with it's Facebook like social activity stream (post a thought, a link, a photo, and other users can comment or 'like' the post).

Does Confluence have a feature or plugin that offers this sort of functionality? To be clear, I do not want a widget that will display content pulled from Yammer or Facebook - we just want similar functionality.

Confluence has some facebook-like social features which where introduced in the latest versions (especially in 4.x) for better collaboration.

These includes:

My opinion: I have seen Confluence in many companies as a intranet platform with good acceptance. But you should be aware that it is mainly a enterprise wiki and usabilty is focused on this. Posting a photo for example is only possible when creating a blog-post. Where as you can post a thought by using your personal status update.

    Jimmy, thanks for your reply. I was thinking about it this morning, and I might create a company wide "blog" that anyone can post to.

Basically, as of August 2015, there are some plugins published to Marketplace which implement this functionality. One of those I've seen is Blue.
