Following big news from Microsoft acquiring Yammer for $1.2 billion, Salesforce.com has acquired group communication solutions company Thinkfuse. Thinkfuse confirmed the news through the company’s official blog, saying that the merger will “advance our mission to promote open communication and transparency in the workplace.” Thinkfuse will cease its operation and service effective July 25, 2012. After that, all customer data will be deleted. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
