“Organising an activity or cascading some information or news to team is one of the best features of Yammer. In my opinion it is meant for that. By creating a group or community and effectively cascading information to team memebers can be done with ease and the security provided by Microsoft. Also it is interative. Not only the admin but also all members who have access to that particular post can express their valuable opinion in the comments session. Also they can show their likes and dislikes by clicking on respective icons. ”

“It is brilliant at allowing us to disseminate information in a clear and discernible way. Anyone within the designated group can post and respond to threads. At the same time anyone can create a new discussion and post. I like to be quite active and I love to share ideas and perspectives with colleagues from different parts of the business. If we didn't have this facility, I would have no dialogue or communication with such colleagues.”
