Yammer Goes Mobile
I’ve never used Yammer but apparently 40,000 companies do so it’s something to take seriously. Yammer is meant to make companies more efficient by allowing you to create a microblog for employees and it can act as a source to track projects, invite users and keep conversations centralized. it’s also secure and access is limited by email domain. Today they released an Outlook addon (so don’t be shocked if you hear MS is buying them out:)) and with that they also released a Windows Mobile application (to go along with their existing Blackberry and iPhone apps). So that means most people, whether they are in or out of the office, can be up to date on the latest office events. And it’s free..

willgill Microsoft has already had a somewhat similar app, Office Communicator Mobile. It integrates with Office/Outlook/Exchange. However the difference is Yammer is more of a professional Twitter, Office Communicator Mobile is more like a professional IM app.
ljdmitry Wow, tried it yesterday and so far loving it! I work for a small consulting company, and since everybody is working on different projects around US and some other countries, the communication between all the employees has been limited. This app provides a simple way of keeping in touch – I have already got some of my co-workers to register, and they enjoy it as well. Thanks a lot for posting this, David!
I guess it’s just sad to read that a business centric application was available on the iPhone before you could use it on a WM device. I think Microsoft should buy Yammer so they can shut it down.
