Huddle Takes On MicrosoftYammer, Puts Social Features Into Its Collaboration Platform (Like Google Docs But With Conversation)

huddle sign yammerHuddle, the cloud collaboration company that picked up $25 million in funding in May, today is launching a significant update to its platform: it's adding in a social communication layer to its service, so that when people share and work together on documents online, they can also talk to each other about them. The move puts Huddle into closer competition against companies like Microsoft, whose $1.4 billion purchase of Yammer closed today and is now likely to create more social collaborations of this kind in its own products. (The picture here, in fact, is from Huddle's in London, where it parked this sign in front of Yammer/Microsoft's HQ to drive the competition point home.)
