The company claims that more than 85% of the Fortune 500 now have Yammer networks, including Thomson Reuters, Shell, Chevron, Nationwide and Ford Motor.
This reminds me of claims that "90% of the Fortune 500 use our software", when in reality "90% of the Fortune 500 have had at least one person download our evaluation version". How much is Yammer actually used?
- trustfundbaby 15y agoI agree ... we have a free version at our company but nobody uses it
- bkudria 15y agoWe don't throw this figure around lightly. Certainly some companies use Yammer more than others, but every company uses Yammer differently. Some companies even pay us for it.
- biot 15y agoYour reply is a non-statement that sounds like it came straight from the marketing/PR department. What percentage of Fortune 500 companies have at least five users who posted something on Yammer in the last two weeks?

- dpritchett 15y agoI registered with some excitement on September 11 2008, the day Yammer won first prize at TC50. I was the first Yammer registrant on my Fortune 100 company's network! I left that company in Christmas 2010 as the first and only Yammer registrant. Yammer did eventually hire one fellow I have a good deal of respect for though.
