Public Sticky notes

The reason Yammer was considered brilliant was that it had a "cunning revenue model". Let me see if I've got this right. 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!) You use your corporate email ID (Gmail, Yahoo etc not allowed). All that is free, so massive viral adoption. Then companies want to claim/control the conversation. So they pay for all users on Yammer with a corporate email ID.

Yep that is cunning all right. Other words come to mind as well.
