It's like Facebook only with your grandmother standing behind you watching every word you type.


Actually, that's how Facebook already is ... with your literal grandmother watching everything you post.


Actually that describes the original startup that Yammer was spun out of: a spam-heavy social network called Geni, that tries to turn a family tree int a social network, and brings not only your grandmother, but every other crazy distant relative out of the woodwork.


Very interesting. I'd never heard of Geni and the story behind Yammer.
