Educational Use of Yammer. Recently LTS started exploring Yammer as a communication tool and knowledge center. Yammer is basically Facebook for work. It looks and functions very similarly to Facebook. Below is Facebook on the left and Yammer on the right. I am a Facebook junkie, so it was very easy to just jump in and start communicating. Here are some of the main differences I've noticed, most of which are great enhancements:You follow people instead of friend them. On Yammer, when someone comments on a post someone else wrote, that whole post will show up on the commenter's profile and in their followers' newsfeeds. On Facebook, this type of interaction is deemphasized and would just partially show up under "recent activity" only on the commenter's page (not their friends' newsfeeds, but it does show up in the new real time activity thing on the top right of the computer screen).
And finally, you can reply specifically to another person's comment to a post (see below) Ok, so I need to get to the point here! Education & Public Sector - Case Studies.
