I am sorry but Yammer has been the single most atrocious thing that has been unleashed in organisations.

It is normally touted as some form of magic where everyone needs to get involved and keep everyone up to date. It is simply a waste of productive time as it tries to recreate a twitter/facebook style social media mess of which its value is over inflated.

Use Slack or a wiki or any other sort of collaboration tool that allows for better communication without the hyped hipster propaganda of corporate twitter. I have never worked in an organisation where Yammer added any real value to those who had to deliver. It seemed a great way though for those with too much time and too little output to look busy and impress their often clueless managers come annual review time.

IME There's barely any difference between Yammer and Slack? One is a little more permanence-oriented than the other, but only slightly. What were the differences that you saw that make you say Slack is so much better?

The fact that slack actually works in a relatively bug free manner and has proper desktop clients.

Slack's desktop clients are just a webview, no more proper than yammer's. I didn't notice any bugginess on the yammer side.

Shitty , memory hogging webviews. Great "feature".....
