  The video provides zero information about differences with "facebook/irc/campfire/status.net". https://www.yammer.com/product/index https://www.yammer.com/product/index seems much more helpful. Looks like Yammer has added lots of what would've been called "groupware" features in the recent past, none of which are present in Facebook, StatusNet, etc. Maybe so much money has been raised because investors think it will eat into Sharepoint, Notes, etc?

    Yeah, that will certainly give you the bullet points for the differences. The videos I linked to gives you the more "human" differences. Not having your social network behind the firewall helps a lot. Yammer moves like a consumer company, which means big usability wins for enterprise users.

      Sorry, the video points out no "human" differences. It points to humans saying they like Yammer, that's about it. I'm sure it is just fine as a marketing video, but don't pretend it conveys any information beyond "like", assuming one has ever used "social media" before.
