Twitter vs. Yammer
In this episode of Untangling the Web, we (Jessica, Russell, and I) discuss the current trends in microblogging.
For those of you confused by the term microblogging, we offer a brilliant definition before we launch into our discussion of one of the hottest microblogging sites, Twitter. The two-year old website is constantly attracting new users with it's question "What are you doing". Keeping people updated on your current status is the hottest trend in internetopia.
Yammer, developed a mere six weeks ago, is giving Twitter a run for its money (or lack thereof...learn more about that in the podcast). This status updating site is targeted towards business networks and requires a business to pay a small fee each month per employee (that is signed up for the service) in order to attain administrative rights.
We talk about pros and cons of both services and all that jazz. Enjoy our first podcast!
