Hey Rob – Why do you not think it should be integrated? There is no value for you there?

I think Yammer WILL work…but the adoption will start at smaller companies, then work itself up to larger groups.

As far as integration works, this has no relevance to ERP or sales automation systems… or any other legacy app for that matter. It’s about short and sweet communication, and for that it’s perfect and it doesn’t need to be “integrated”

Good work guys.

i’ve a big fan of yammer. We use it in our office in Sydney, Aust.

It’s a closed group version of twitter, so you dont get the annoying clutter of updates from external sources.

It’s allowed us to microblog and collaborate on meetings, how to use yammer, water-cool talk. Allows our office manager to keep tapped in to what’s happening.

We’ve also created subgroups for our account managers and now one for our basketball team.

The biggest advantage is that it reduces email clutter.

Techcrunch using a service barely qualifies a service as being promising. You guys are early adopters – not mainstream.

Some large companies frown on hosted services. How long until there’s a version that can be installed behind the firewall, yet retain the functionality?

Andy, any sucesfull application is copied at least 10 times within few months. Here in Czech Republic, we have 10 twitter clones and i believe that in each country it is similar.

That is the reason why i created http://www.applicopy.com marketplace.
