Nice! I like! My ugg boots arrived today, I'm very pleased with them. So silky smooth and soft I can't believe it. I researched the whole ugg thing last year but decided not to order because I really couldn't afford a pair. This year I read about Whooga's in a fashion forum and decided to give them a try. I ordered a size too small initially and had to return them for a 6 which was a bit annoying but eventually worth the wait, I'm a 5.5 in most shoes but ugg boots on sale sometimes vary between 5.5 and 6. I probably should have measured my foot, anyway I'm very pleased..

UGGs became ubiquitous among Southern California surfers and Southern California downhill skiers, and from there, Uggs, which name comes from the Australian

It wasn't just the speed of Yammer that impressed me. The inclusive nature of Yammer means that's everyone who could help with my problem did, even if I didn't know who they were. That's some pretty efficient social networking, if only someone could find a similar use for Facebook. We can now see the most prolific people and the most followed people from this innovative tool.

well, there is a one in your category, which is Imindi. However, it is too advanced to be understood by many attendance immediately. So … Time will tell.

Having said this, while better integration would be great, one UI for twits ans yams, I would go the other way on the choosing side. As a consultant I belong to several network/ companies, and I like the idea of producing the content once and then spreading it to several channels based on what makes sense. There can be a default to publish to all, then the option to limit to one or the other.
And then on the reading side, good integration between services would prevent duplications.
Now I can hang around several virtual water coolers at once, how cool is that?

"You show up often enough in TC's comments to make your role here suspicious." Steven, how about you go tally up the number of comments I've made on TechCrunch then try telling me that.

You're the one with a distorted since of what objectivity is, and I find it insulting given the work I put into reporting.

Go take a look at all of the other TechCrunch sponsors who didn't even make it into TC50. Go take a look at the other TC50 sponsors who didn't get any sort of positive recognition within the competition. Yammer won because it's an interesting idea. I've very pointedly noted the issues with it, both in my previous post and in this one.

In general, I find it really annoying when people who are clearly not trying to be objective try to give journalists lessons on objectivity.

"Could VentureBeat perhaps start introducing more objectivity by reversing roles of its contributors? You show up often enough in TC's comments to make your role here suspicious. So why not send Takahashi to the next TC50 and you go to DEMO? (And, since we're on it, let Takahashi cover Apple and MG Siegler write on games.)"

Good idea, but why don't we take it a step further and just pull in random people off the street and ask them to write our posts? Then we'll *know* they're objective -- unless, of course, they've posted a "suspicious" number of comments on TechCrunch.

Needless to say, your suggestion has been given the careful consideration it deserves.

Good point! so Twitter bought their search, not they can buy a business model that makes a lot of sense. No need to go to the water cooler anymore, you can participate in the company informal network from wherever you want

[...] Although it has been popular among the youth and high tech crowd, I have been rather skeptical of its practical uses, especially in business. It always seemed to me to be the height of conceit to think that other people really need (or are interested in reading) short, periodic updates on what you are doing at any particular moment (on the way to work, eating lunch, reading a book, etc.) The content of these tweets should be of some importance or interest, as Sam Glover notes on his Lawyerist blog. I certainly agree. Sam also noted in another post about Jon Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing publishing a paper on Twitter for Business. However, it was not until I heard about the September 8 roll-out of a service called Yammer that I started to see the potential for microblogging in the small firm (see reviews and comments on Yammer here and here).

Eric, thanks for unbiased, journalistic clarity.

Bob said "Techcrunch", not "Techcrunch50" and Geni has been an advertiser on the main TechCrunch blog for a *very* long time.

In addition, Peter Thiel's Founders Fund was a sponsor at this year's TC50 conference. Thiel and David Sacks have been buddies since like forever; they were together in the ultra-right wing students groups at Stanford, and were COO (Sacks) and CEO (Thiel) at PayPal.

Could VentureBeat perhaps start introducing more objectivity by reversing roles of its contributors? You show up often enough in TC's comments to make your role here suspicious. So why not send Takahashi to the next TC50 and you go to DEMO? (And, since we're on it, let Takahashi cover Apple and MG Siegler write on games.)

This article, and your response above, does not reflect in any way the almost unanimously negative, 300 responses in the TechCrunch comments.

No, I don't work for a company that was at or tried to be at TC50 or competes in the Twitter-look-alike "business".

If Microsoft just adds a feature to Microsoft Exchange, then Yammer is without business instantly.
Microsoft controls most of the small to medium sized companies and all the email addresses of the employees are already available.

IBM has Lotus Notes since long: enables people to communicate and collaborate.
