Now that I limited my number of friends on FB I find it a bit more useful. I need to really dive into Yammer and also the social features within SharePoint 2013. I see a lot of overlap between the two products. I think Group Chat will also be useful. Do you know if Group Chat is part of Lync on Office 365?

It seems to work fine. I guess I'm so old-fashioned that I really don't get the POINT of it all, if you know what I mean. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ryan Finnesey Sent: Thursday, August 1, 2013 1:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Perhaps something to supplement Lync What do you think of Yammer? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B.

I've only integrated the "most recent" versions of everything: Exchange 2013, Lync 2013, SharePoint 2013, Yammer. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Buff Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 8:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Perhaps something to supplement Lync Uhhh.....
