Yammer Seeks to Simplify Enterprise Social Network Usage With Upgrade
Yammer has upgraded its cloud-based enterprise social networking software with new and improved features designed to make it easier for end users to manage their content.
The upgrades, which will be rolled out progressively to all users over the next two weeks, include a new content repository, appropriately called Inbox, for the multiple types of activity notifications users receive.
Instead of having to monitor a continuously updated activity stream, and risk missing important notifications that scroll by when they're not looking, users can review the Inbox, which corrals notifications so that they can be reviewed when it's convenient.
The Inbox will contain elements like direct messages, alerts about new replies on threads users are participating in or monitoring, and notifications about new content added to groups or online communities they belong to.
From the Inbox, users will be able to also take action on the notifications they see, including replying to messages and posting comments on discussion threads.
Yammer has also revamped the software's home page, displaying prominently notifications that are of particular relevance to users, such as files and pages that are being actively shared, viewed and discussed.
The new home page also features a section for key company content, such as important calendars, personnel manuals and the like, so that these resources are easily accessible to users.
"We want to make sure that the things you're looking at are relevant to you," said Adam Pisoni, Yammer's CTO.
The Yammer upgrade also adds a feature called Online Now that displays which user contacts are available at a particular moment and allows co-workers to engage in multi-party chats. This feature also archives conversations and makes them searchable.
Recently acquired by Microsoft for US$1.2 billion in cash, Yammer is one of many companies offering software that companies can use to create workplace social networks.

Multiply drops social networking, to focus on e-commerce
By Phoebe Magdirila August 14, 2012
One of the longest running social networking sites, Multiply, has recently announced that it will shut down its social networking services to rebrand itself as an e-commerce platform.
After eight years of serving as a social media platform for its Philippine and Indonesia markets, this announcement was posted in the companys website as addressed by Multiply CEO Stefan Magdalinski.
As Facebook and Twitter has now become the most visited social networking sites of today, Multiply believes that such Internet sites who are committed to social networking services will do a better job.
Multiplys mission has evolved over the past year and a half to become the biggest and most beloved e-commerce marketplace, states Magdalinski. As our focus has shifted, we have reviewed all of our operations, and made some decisions.
By December 1 they will already be removing the social networking and content sharing aspect of the site. This means, all photos, videos, blogs and social messages of users will already be deleted.
The management has yet to announce how users can download or migrate their content. It will be your choice whether to download, migrate or just let your content lapse (and get deleted), he says.
The company will also provide refund of unused balances for users who have existing Multiply Premium subscriptions.
Meanwhile, existing e-commerce buyers and sellers need not to worry as they will not be affected of the changes.
Our singular focus now is for Multiply to retain its status as a vibrant e-commerce destination in Southeast Asia in the years ahead, notes Magdalinski. We are excited to pursue our own mission to give the 350 million consumers in Indonesia and the Philippines as a great way to buy and sell items online.
