Some startups have a desktop component (Yammer), and it's often not very good.

Yammer's desktop client sucks. Perhaps it is because writing for the desktop is considered so passe that the art is dying among younger devs.

Yammer's desktop client is written in Adobe AIR which is the normal web stack. It runs in an embedded WebKit browser.
