Yammer, Inc. is a freemium enterprise social network service that was
launched in 2008 and sold to Microsoft in 2012. Yammer is used for
private communication within organizations or between organizational
members and pre-designated groups, making it an example of enterprise
social software. It originally launched as an enterprise microblogging
service and now has applications on several different operating systems
and devices. Access to a Yammer network is determined by a user`s
Internet domain, so only those with appropriate email addresses may join
their respective networks.

to collaborate easily, make smarter decisions faster, and self-organize

OAuth is an emerging authorization standard that is being adopted by a
growing number of sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Google, Yahoo!,
Netflix, Flickr, and several other Resource Providers and social
networking sites. It is an open-web specification for organizations to
access protected resources on each other`s web sites. This is achieved
by allowing users to grant a third-party application access to their
protected content without having to provide that application with their
credentials.
Unlike Open ID, which is a federated authentication protocol, OAuth,
which stands for Open Authorization, is intended for delegated
authorization only and it does not attempt to address user
authentication concerns. There are several excellent online resources,
referenced at the end of this article, that provide great material about
the protocol and its use.
