We have yammer at work. It's a total waste of a time sink.
Maybe I'm just old, but I much, much, much prefer stored systems like email which I can ignore when I need, keeps nice queue of what I've received/read, has folders/filtering/taging/search, ability to archive/save important messages.
Vs IM/Twitter/IRC constant stream systems. Which constantly distract me with msgs I care little about and when I ignore them it's easy to miss and hard to discover I missed something important.
