Interesting that you consider Yammer to be formal, as quite often I see it used in a more informal or conversational way. I would worry that if Yammer became too formal, it would simply turn into the old school intranet home page with nothing but company news that no one reads on it.

This was a tricky one for us. We believe that Yammer has an ad-hoc structure in communication but you should almost always have a "professional" tone since Yammer casts such a wide net across your org (or even across multiple orgs).
