Twitter in the Workplace
Yammer
Twitter-like tool that is used by companies for internal communication
We recently signed up for Yammer and are seeing it spread virally among our employees. It is helping us accelerate collaboration and internal communications across our 20,000 employees in 300 offices in 30 countries.
We're seeing all kinds of serendipitous connections across projects, cultures and time zones.
- Brian Robins, CEO SunGard
My emails were reduced 50% by using Yammer for internal communication. Yammer eliminates multiple sends and blanket cc's

IM in the Workplace
• Saves time
• Great for quick questions
• More visible than an email in an inbox
• Can respond even while doing something else
• Include multiple people
• Set your status to available, busy or away
