I already miss the Yammer network. Much better for keeping up
I use Yammer a great deal in our organisation and love getting rich notifications to my Apple Watch and being able to keep on top of discussions and reply from anywhere on my mobile. Since funding ...
I personally thought the interface for Yammer wasn't so great such as no re-editing once you posted or the bizarre rendering in Chrome.. However access to the relevant groups, email and IM seems way more intuitive than on this Tech Community. Regarding IM, I am struggling to find how I can contact somebody online which was mouse click away in Yammer. I guess I will need to get used to it, at least until Microsoft decides to kill it for the next shiny social portal ;-)
- Glad I'm not the only one. Way too much friction even just replying to this. It used to be so simple and quick to scan though interesting content and reply to people on Yammer. It was useful.
Now it's not so. And like you say, Microsoft seem to be very quick to get bored of products and platforms and either kill and start again or do so many ways of doing the same thing with lots of half complete products. Drives me mad when there's so much potential- I'm in the same boat. I am feeling more comfortable with the new network, and they are making improvements to it. I FEEL more disconnected from the groups and individuals in this forum format, and its hard to quantify. Its still harder/different to move between groups and conversations in my opinion. Too many clicks and page refreshes, etc. But like I said, its getting better.
Its interesting how conducive Yammer as a platform may have been to building the community, good psychology thesis?
