Yammer-Dama-Hang-On ... What did you just say?
As some of you may know, we use yammer here at Kyan. We’ve been using it for about a year now, and it’s still as popular now, as when we first started using it to blabbering on about pretty pointless bits’n’things.
The service really helped us out, when, during a particularly cold spell back in Feb’09, when most of England was hit by really wicked snow storm and the entire Kyan army couldn’t get to the office. Yammer allowed us to open our MacBooks at home, log in, and pretty much work like we were all in the same room still.
Again in March, when a small team from Kyan worked in one of our clients London offices for a few weeks, yammer ensured they were never left out of the loop
Other uses include, but are not limited to:
- critiquing each others jukebox playlists
- deciding what time to go to the pub
- New project ideas
- Insulting Prof Wake (he doesn’t use yammer much)
- Announcing the presence of Doughnuts in the kitchen
- Sharing Links
- Polling the office opinion on things like best film? are remakes better than the original?
- Coming up with amusing alternatives to song lyrics
- Trying to figure out if Lady Gaga is ‘fit’?
- Quoting Film scenes
I’ll leave you with some insightful quotes going back through our yammer history, about what life at Kyan is like:
