Twitter isn't a chat system, even if people abuse it that way.
Interesting level of abuse then. Those hash-tags seem to be mighty popular, probably only topped by "replies".
There is a difference between a status update (which people already organize their days around in big companies) and a chat message.
And what would that be?
Twitter presents your "status updates" in exactly the same way that chat clients present their chat messages. Okay it's crippled as in you are not supposed to reply - but people are obviously not using it that way.
Furthermore you ignore the fact that nobody in your company has only a single, canonical status that could be summed up in 140 chars. Everybody is involved in multiple projects and teams, each of which has a different status.
There is a reason why all ticket- and project-management systems are project centric and not people centric. It's because the former makes sense and the latter doesn't.
