Earlier this month we pointed out that Yammer has moved past basic social networking and into primary productivity tool territory. But that news was nothing compared to its latest announcement -- universal search.

This week, the question of the timing of the Office 15 release came to the fore again with a leaked document appearing on the Web, while Office 2007 support seems to have been extended for a few months. Perceptive offers a document viewer for iPad with an Android viewer due, Yammer bought document collaboration vendor OneDrum, while DocuWare expanded in Canada.

Today, Yammer announces the acquisition of UK-based OneDrum, a document collaboration and file sharing company that supports Microsoft Office. It's become clear that Yammer is no-longer just another social network, it's an organization's primary productivity tool.

Enterprise social networking provider Yammer has announced the addition of an analytics dashboard. The launch follows similar announcements from consumer-facing social networking tools such as Facebook.

Enterprise social networking provider Yammer may only be four years old, but it has a huge allowance and lots of friends. Yammer, which has been adopted by over 4 million corporate users, announced a significant influx of new cash from its fifth round of funding.

With Yammer SAP Connector installed, SAP customers can see updates from business suite applications as activity stories in Yammer's Ticker.

Yammer is widely known around the enterprise for building Facebook-like features into its social business layer, and today that trend continues with the release of the Activity Stream Ticker. The stream of information shows users what their colleagues are doing on Yammer, as well as a variety of new third-party services: Box.net, Zendesk, Spigit, TripIt, Badgeville and Expensify. 

You likely already have a profile on LinkedIn and you are linked to any number of people and companies. Same for Twitter, Facebook and a number of other social networks, which means there is probably a lot of information coming your way. What if you could take that information, combine it altogether and then search and filter to your hearts content to find business opportunities? GageIn says you can -- using its business information networking platform.

Yammer has raised another charming little pot of dough -- US$ 17 million -- thanks in part to Chamath Palihapitiya, Facebook's former Vice President of Growth, Mobile and International. The injection brings Yammer's total financing to US$ 57 million.
