A few questions have been coming in about the [email protected] email address. Hopefully these notes will answer those questions:

- The main purpose of the email address is for the signup process with Yammer

- We are not suggesting the email address becomes your new general email address

- The email address is simply a forwarder to your normal email address

- We do this because Yammer requires that all users have the same root email domain

- We are unable to offer short versions of the email address all users have firstname.lastname format

Exactly. Yammer is cool because it is focused on professional/enterprise social networks, but broken because it doesn't recognize that people want to create adhoc social networks to work together.

StartupGuild is like the Facebook activity stream you wish you had... :)

Amazing stuff. Already addicted to this. It's like a social network full of entrepreneurs, a lot of from HN.

Could you post a screenshot of what v2.0 actually looks like? Maybe an example of the 'activity stream'?

It looks interesting, but I don't like signing up for something without getting seeing a sample.

The only problem with the StartupGuild on Yammer is that I'll spend even more time on social networks and less time on getting actual work done ;(

But I like it!

Awesome place. Indeed, the activity stream I've always wanted.

So you recreated a Facebook Group outside of Facebook?

Technically, Yammer created Facebook groups outside of Facebook. It's a bit strange, but I think he chose a nice tool to facilitate the group.

I would not join Startup Guild if it required me to have a facebook account. So thank god for that.

Also - I find it ironic that you would think that a monolithic service such as facebook would be the obvious tool for scrappy groups of startup wantrepreneurs.
