Rumors that Microsoft is about to acquire a corporate social network Yammer have been going on for a week, and today, WSJ got news from people familiar with the matter that Microsoft will buy Yammer at a price of 1.2 billion dollars, and companies have reached a consensus on acquisitions. At present, Microsoft and Yammer spokesmen did not comment. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the week (June 15 local time), according to a previous Bloomberg report, and Microsoft is likely to officially announce the acquisition at the Windows Phone Developer conference next week. Founded in 2008, Yammer is a social network for internal communication and collaboration, known as corporate Facebook, which is now registered with 200,000 companies. The acquisition of Yammer is also significant for Microsoft, which can integrate Yammer's corporate social services into its other products and provide users with a better social experience.
