Someone had a good suggestion today: Put up a whiteboard, and have everyone write down what he/she is working on. At the end of the day, ask them to check it off or strike through. Everyone can get the catharsis of checking things off of a big list. This helps fuel everyone's curiosity about what their coworkers are doing.
Systems like Twitter, Laconica, IRC or Yammer may help with something like this if you'd rather have an electronic format.
