Non-Profits - Easily Create Your Free Yammer Private Microblog to Plan an Event, Collaborate on a Project
When e-mail is too slow and inefficient to plan an event or fundraiser or collaborate on a project, consider a free Web hosted microblogging tool. Yammer, similar to Present.ly, offers a private, efficient way for employees to stay connected through the posting of messages, file sharing and the creation of groups (based on, for example, department, project or team, fundraiser). SMS integration, e-mail as well as iPhone and BlackBerry applications along with an Adobe Air-based desktop application ensures employees keep updated whether on or off their work site. To allow quick and easy identification of your colleagues' expertise, each employee can create a photo-based profile. Although Yammers' free level of service lacks the administrative functions Present.ly currently offers without charge, all users are required to confirm they have a valid organizational e-mail address (from the same domain) in order to sign-up. Along with requiring users to have a valid organizational e-mail address, the ability to suspend former employees allows a measure of privacy.
