Yammer is a social networking site that includes RSS as an optional feature. Microsoft bought out Yammer as a new product to sell, but is also trying to use it to replace emailing between employees.
When was the last time you sent an email to 50 people? It involves creating the email, repetitive typing of each person's email address, double checking to make sure each person was included, sending it out, then hoping that everyone gets it, all the while hoping that it is not sent their spam folder since there are so many recipients.
Microsoft made a smart decision in creating "one source of the truth" for every department within their organization.
