Yammer for Enterprise Conversation
Yammer is a Twitter-variant for the enterprise, enabling people to share ambient information. “Teams can communicate as if they were all sitting in a room together, and can be freed from the archaic idea that they need to physically be in the same place to work together. Cut costs, go green, be more efficient, leverage as many buzzwords as you can shake a stick at. It would also be great for letting managers see what their team is doing at a glance, and getting new team members into the mix quickly.” There are still things that Yammer needs to get right yet, such as security and directory integration. See Yammer.
