Ahh, another penny drops! You’re Martyn behind the http://blogs.severndelta.co.uk/ blog. I’ve been “lurking” around your gaff too. Ships in the night and all that …

I also found the IM integration particularly useful until it bombed out – twitterspy and ping.fm are ok but not as “immediate” if you know what I mean.

Still good though – a UK based contact is currently updating me on the uk digitalmission in NYC – which is nice

In the article I linked to I liked how …

“Laura Fitton, a social-media consultant, with over 5,300 followers on Twitter, brags that she can solve any problem on Twitter in six minutes!”

… if businesses could tap into (or more likely, create) networks like that, then we really would have a killer-app.

The problem with Yammer for those of us on this side of the pond, is the lack of integration with European SMS services. (It was a real PITA when Twitter stopped supporting UK & Ireland SMS postings).

Nice post – been lurking here for a while

As a sometime tweeter I too didn’t really get “it”. But…. I’ve made several connections over Twitter that have proved useful in a business context.

Not come across yammer before, but thanks for the tip – I’ll be checking it out.
