Yammer?s David Sacks On Why The Startup Opportunity Ain?t What It Used To Be (And How Microsoft Integration Is Coming Soon)

Less than three months after Yammer got bought by Microsoft for $1.2 billion, founder David Sacks says that it is preparing to announce the first signs of integration "soon". Speaking on the sidelines of the TC Disrupt conference, Sacks said that product announcements are being prepared for Yammer's cloud-based enterprise social networking platform to appear in several Microsoft products. These could include products like Lync, Sharepoint and Office 365 -- although Sacks would not directly confirm which. The integration of once-startup Yammer into the leviathan that is Microsoft is a fitting event to mark one big theme covered today in a a conversation on stage between Sacks and Mike Arrington, in which Sacks explained why he thought that tech startups needed to find new opportunities away from traditional technology.
