Yammer has added new features we are excited to share with you:
- Google Apps Sign-Up
- Popular Tags List
- 'More' Link On Messages: Bookmark, Email, Delete
- Ability to reply to replies in threaded mode
- Direct Messages feed
- Threaded mode toggle
- Collapsed Group UI
Google Apps Sign-Up
This eliminates the need to confirm your Google Apps based email address. New users just go through the normal sign-up flow but the email verification process is taken care of, saving you time and hassle.
Popular Tags List
The most popular tags in your network will be displayed in a list on the right of your feed. This lets you quickly see and access the most popular discussions in your organization.
'More' Link On Messages: Bookmark, Email, Delete
A 'More' link on messages allows you to quickly add an update to your 'Bookmarked' feed, receive the update as an email, or delete the message.
Ability to reply to replies in threaded mode
You can now reply to other users within the same thread. Just click on 'Reply' to any message and Yammer will clearly display exactly who you are replying to.
Direct Messages feed
A dedicated DM feed makes it easy to send and peruse Direct Messages. Typing in a user's name will display a drop-box so you can quickly select who you want to Direct Message, while the feed will show your archived messages.
Threaded mode toggle
Toggle between Threaded and Stream modes by clicking on the icon at the top-right hand corner of your feed. Get conversational context in Threaded mode, or Twitter-like updates in Stream mode.
Collapsed Group UI
The new interface includes an organized Group drop-down menu which allows you to quickly access your groups' feeds and profiles, or add another group.
In case you missed it, Yammer also released an Outlook 2007 Plug-In and Windows Mobile App last week. We are working quickly to also have an Outlook 2003 Plug-In soon so stay tuned!
