I work in the insurance industry and in many corporate settings the use of Twitter and Facebook are 'outlawed'. While Yammer is not a replacement for either of these it is certainly a good introduction, in a safe and insular environment, for those who are new to social media and the possibilities it offers for learning and sharing. I'm and advocate for it!<br /><br />Have you seen the video testimonial from Peter Williams from 'Deloitte digital AU'? I used this to try to sell Yammer as a tool to my colleagues, some still need convincing, but one group took it on and use it to share hints and tips about their policies and processes which has reduced emails, that can only be a good thing.Kim Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759781331141217460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-61219882128513902562011-08-04T04:35:21.509+10:002011-08-04T04:35:21.509+10:00Hi Jo, Thanks for your comment.

I'll be interested to see if that increases over the next few months. <br /><br />I'm off on AL for the next 2 weeks so you won't see anything of me on Twitter. Look forward to catching up with how things are going with your colleagues when I get back. Tell them I am not usually so quiet on Twitter :)Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-57462881615375849172011-08-02T21:45:42.994+10:002011-08-02T21:45:42.994+10:00Hi Sarah

For me it definitely is not a substitue for Twitter. <br /><br />However from the organisational context I can see it as a great tool for sharing "corporate" knowledge. My TAFE Inst (CY O'Connor Inst in WA - Australia) is spread across several regional campuses & with many lecturers traveling huge distances each week. I see Yammer as a good way of tapping into corporate knowledge wherever we are. If many of us use it (which we don't yet) we can ask & get answers to org related q's that might not be appropriate to share more widely. <br /><br />Will be so intersted in how it goes from your perspective - definitely experiences to share I think. <br /><br />PS I have just introduced some colleagues to Twitter :)<br /><br />Jo HartJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13007080178478331471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-8013915698707152462011-08-02T10:47:48.018+10:002011-08-02T10:47:48.018+10:00Hi Sebastain, I've just joined Yammer at Griff...Hi Sebastain, I've just joined Yammer at Griffith University so it will be interesting to see how the two different institutions use it.Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-73267092313141315042011-07-31T11:38:25.540+10:002011-07-31T11:38:25.540+10:00I am giving WikiEducator training to students of ...I am giving WikiEducator training to students of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Technical_Higher_Secondary_School,_Kaloor <br />I can use Yammer to teach them on Social Networking :-)<br /><br />I have linked your blog at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Technical_Higher_Secondary_School,_Kaloorsebastian Panakalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271440383691005523noreply@blogger.com
