I really like Yammer and have encouraged our 15 employees to use it weekly. The only problem I have is the need to input your credit card for a free account. They say it’s to “verify” that we are actually from the company we say we are from but isn’t that the purpose of the email domain recognition?

It was not there originally Michael. I read the post and then posted the comment. Ban me no problems about that. But I would like to see blogs to behave more like journalists and have complete disclosure. Its not personal

I’m really surprised no one is mentioning Socialcast.com. We have researched all three of these services and given the superior user interface and better performance as a knowledge base that Socialcast has I would think it would receive more attention in this conversation.

It is true that it currently lacks some features available with Yammer and Presently but after speaking with the founder earlier this week I am convinced that they are about to release a host of new features over the next 60 days that will vault them to the top of the pack.

I posted the following comment in a more recent post:

“Socialcast.com should not be overlooked. It has a much better user interface than either Presently or Yammer and is much more functional as a long term knowledge base. It has no character limit (Presently limits posts to 140 characters) and allows multiple domains (Yammer limits users to a single domain).

Socialcast also has a bookmarklet which makes it great for accumulating knowledge online without having to be logged in to the site. You can also use the bookmarkelt to update your status right from the browser (again without being forced to login).

I spoke with the founder by phone earlier this week and it sounds like some exciting new features are on the way that will allow Socialcast to quickly bypass the early entrants. I’d really look forward to TechCrunch arranging an early preview and review of Socialcast’s new features.

It looks like these will be the 3 big players in this exciting new area of Enterprise 2.0 and based on our research I wouldn’t be surprised if Socialcast winds up on top over the long term.

present.ly is great. but it isn’t nearly as polished or useful as yammer. and their spamming is really turning me off.

romit, we haven’t had any other reports of this. Can you email help@yammer.com so we can determine the issue and get your network going again? Thanks.

One small correction: Yammer and its applications always use SSL; it isn’t just an administrative feature.

Michael, how about some mention of the competition? Present.ly launched on Tuesday and the overall word in the blogosphere is that it’s much better than Yammer. It would be great to have TC give it a little attention seeing as how it was rejected from TC50.

“enterprise twitter” is a cool concept but outside of smaller, tech oriented companies how much wide-spread user adoption will there really be?
