Yammer is revolutionizing internal corporate communications by bringing together all of a company’s employees inside a private and secure enterprise social network. Although Yammer is as easy to use as consumer products like Facebook or Twitter, it’s enterprise-grade software is built from the ground up to drive business objectives.
Yammer is free for your whole company, enabling users to communicate, collaborate, and share more easily and efficiently than ever before. It reduces the need for meetings, increases communication across silos, surfaces pockets of expertise and connects remote workers.
Sign up and start using Yammer in less than 60 seconds. All you need is a company email address.
The description is not talking about the feature to create external "networks", where you can invite external none corporate email so you can engage collaboration, partners, sub-contractors, or customers. We do that. Except the ergonomic is not perfect, because some button/menu not well expected position (like external networks on lower left, below the list of groups...) The "unpaid" version is not limited in size, but you can't use the advanced management tools. The paid version do not ask for money your external users, are total free.

Yammer integrate the capabilities to create 'external' groups, so you can invite people outside your organization, inside... Not sure a good idea, hope able to deactivate this option !

Yammer is a private social network, while Teambox is an app to manage projects, at least is what they argue. I have used both for years in my company and I cant see any similarity

For sure, Yammer is not design to manage projects, all the same can be usefull for, but extensions (paid) add project management features.
