#yammer — Public Fediverse posts

#Yammer (oh sorry I meant "Viva Engage communities") will be enabled in #Teams for everyone, by default. Unless if you opt out at org level: https://mc.merill.net/message/MC1218423

Here's how you can turn this thing off: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/teams-viva-experiences#how-to-set-viva-engage-experiences-in-teams

Fascinating look at some connections from America's "Crypto & AI Czar" (and Twitter's #1 Vladimir Putin fan) David Sacks to the massive #Wirecard fraud via disgraced Yammer executive Keith McCarty.

(ICYMI Wirecard was a nation state sized Russian money laundering operation disguised as one of the biggest companies in #Germany).

@lightweight #WOL is my Working Out Loud hashtag. I'm trying to repost mastodon #WOL posts to the internal University #VivaEngage social network (used to be called #Yammer). That's the yucky part!

Amazingly, Microsoft are still adding modal dialogue boxes to their very recent apps.

Yammer/Engage from the Teams client pops up a modal dialogue box if you click away from an in progress post!

Maybe save a draft?

thoughts on #Yammer
apparently somebody at #Microsoft got finally the idea a product called yammer might have a negative spin on target users, so a rebranding surfaced,
now it's called #VivaEngage
oh 😎 you say,
what's new you ask? 🤨
well the name in the app gallery has changed, that's all 🤪
not even URLs changed, which is good, but it doesn't help a bit,
the service performs like on the original name, let's yammer about.

@MaiKueper @janhutter Ich stimme dir da vollkommen zu, dass hier noch viel mehr möglich ist. Viele haben #Yammer / #VivaEngage einfach "technisch angeschaltet", ohne sich darum zu kümmern. Das kann funktionieren, doch eher nur dort, wo sich Grassroots Initiativen drum kümmern.
Formelle wie informelle Communities sind aktiver (und leben länger) mit Community Management und kultureller Unterstützung durch das Management.

@janhutter definitiv eignet sich dafür #VivaEngage (#Yammer) - allerdings sollte ein #ESN immer begleitet und mit #CommunityManagement eingeführt werden.
Ich habe da seit 2014 viel Licht aber auch einige Schatten gesehen. 😉

Somebody at #Microsoft right now: can we integrate twitter-like social network in Teams? let's call it #Yammer

Save the date: der 41. #KnowledgeJam am 21.4. wird das Thema "#WorkingOutLoud mit #Yammer und #VivaEngage" haben. Infos und Anmeldung 👉 https://community.cogneon.de/t/41-knowledgejam-working-out-loud-mit-yammer-und-viva-engage-ckj41/3841

It's really powerful to understand how important Enterprise Social Networks are to keep people engaged. Not really surprising to see this...but I'll bet that #spacekaren is going to make them use some sort of internal twitter. This is because of his buddy (and my former boss) #DavidSachs who started #Yammer.

Remember #Yammer?

#Microsoft sorgt endlich für ein Ende der Verwirrung um die nahezu gleichen Dienste #Yammer und #Viva: Ersteres wird nun auf Eigenentwicklung umgestellt und verschwindet dadurch. https://winfuture.de/news,134600.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

Having been employee 107 at #Yammer, it's a sad day when you see the brand disappear. On the other hand, I think Yammer had a time and place and those have both past...#RIP #Enterprise20 #ESN #EnterpriseSocial

13 years ago today, I signed up for my first #Yammer network at work.🥳 Shadow IT was so cool back then, even though not many others showed up to the party.

#Yammer und #Viva #Engage schließt im Kontext von Working Out Loud #WOL eine wichtige Lücke in #Microsoft365. Werde dazu mal was bloggen.

Ich werde hier im Fediverse hauptsächlich schreiben über
#Collaboration im #DigitalWorkplace von #Microsoft365
sowie alles im Bereich
#Wissen & #Lernen,
z. B.
#lernOS #DigitaleZusammenarbeit, #CorporateLearning,
#ChangeManagement mit #Prosci #ADKAR
aber auch #CommunityManagement im #ESN #Yammer und #KnowledgeManagement im #Wiki.

Anyone else at work just sneer at Outlook when a new reminder pops up that you have unread #Yammer messages?

I always scream “Who the hell is actually using Yammer!?”

jammer genoeg #yammer

Opt Out of Klout - Now!

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2013/06/opt-out-of-klout-now/

Sites like Klout and Kred are perfect examples of social media frippery. A vaguely plausible "score" that you can use to justify your "investment" in tweeting all day long. When they're used as a silly little badge, or an informal competition with friends, they're a (mostly) harmless way of gamification.

Of continual annoyance is the complete lack of transparency these services show. How is your score calculated? Is anyone manipulating it? What can you do to improve it?

Still, it doesn't matter, it's only a silly number, eh? No one takes it seriously, right?

Wrong. Yammer, the internal social network of choice for most businesses, have announced they're going to team up with Klout so managers can see employees' scores.

What was once just a daft badge is now something to be bought up at your annual performance review. Want that promotion? You'd better hope that spending all day getting retweeted by celebrities helps your "influencer" score.

No.

It's time to withdraw our consent from these leeches who take our data, run it through an obfuscated process, and then attempt to sell it back to us.

It's time to stop being held open to blackmail. How long before they start offering a paid for service to help you improve your score?

It's time to refuse to be placed in an artificial competition where the rules are unknown and the results arbitrary.

Here's how you opt out of Klout.

1. Visit klout.com/corp/optout
2. Ignore their self-serving hogwash and scroll to the bottom of the page.
3. Verify your identity with Twitter.
4. Fill in a very short form telling them to go to hell.
5. Hit "Submit".

Get on with your life and be happy. A number on a screen doesn't control your destiny; you do.
