In the height of

Micro-blogging such as Plurk and Twitter. A new platform was created

and intends to cater companies and work station. So if you are a fan

social networking where you are free to post anything like links of

your latest post on your blog, dished you friends, post your negative

reaction or simply make anyone notice you because you are have

attention deficit disorder and you wanted to be on the limelight, well

Yammer is not for you. Yammer was created as I mention it a tool for

making companies ang organizations more productive through the exchange

of one line answers, questions or status like "XXX is working on the

draft presentation" or "XXX is reating reports on the new ad campaign" Yammer is more on a specific social network like an exclusive company like yahoo groups.

It's

platform is like twitter, with a vertical timeline and the message

field is located above the timeline. while on the right section where

you can see the short profile, short list of followers and groups.

Yammer

was founded by former executives and early employees of PayPal,

eGroups, eBay, and Tribe. It is backed by venture capital firms

Founders Fund and Charles River Ventures. And the website is for free

like twitter and plurk but if the a company wishes to get a certain

group's admin tool the price would be available for negotiation.

As

for social networking freak like me, Yammer as micro-blogging tool may

not cater most of the internet savvy people, but it may actually help

in a company/work perspective to lessen email bandwith, walking from

table to table asking updates, and ear ringing phone calls, instead

being update is just a click on a refresh button right a way.
