My thoughts exactly. Watch them prove me wrong;)
Quoted: Here is why I would not consider Yammer a serious start-up:
...
1. No barriers.
2. The incumbent can replace their advantage way too easily.
3. No natural early adopter. The normal early adopter is on Twitter.
...
You use Yammer rather than Twitter to restrict the Followers to your colleagues. So you can discuss company secrets really securely. (That, by the way, was a joke)

People said the same thing about classmates.com - what moron would pay money to see what their former classmates are up to (before you even knew who else was there)? Turns out lots of people did exactly that. I think the model has a shot - given good execution. But I also agree with the article: Low barriers, lots of competition. It's just going to be a straight race. Maybe the publicity from TC will create a self-fulfilling prophesy for them.
