I can see LOTS of psychological reasons why people use Twitter.

I can see lots of reasons why a boss/business would want people to Yammer.

But I can’t see why an employee would WANT to do it. Does it really move the needle? Does it make their job easier? Or is it just a lighter way to fill out a time entry form?

I’ll be interested to read “Our first 6 months with Yammer” posts… in 6 months. ;-)
