Yammer: It’s true that we release features iteratively. TechCrunch: New features get rolled out slowly and not on all platforms at the same time. Gabble is not under active development anymore so they haven’t updated (the API is available). In August last year, we made Top Conversations the default. Yammer clients offer the choice of “Top Conversations” (seeing everything important, even if you’re not following the author) and “Followed Conversations” (only authors you’re following). You seem to be basing your experience on not receiving messages by people you haven’t followed in Gabble, which isn’t even an official Yammer client. TechCrunch: Direct messages get delayed or not delivered at all. If you want to use the 100% feature-complete version of Yammer, that’s what the browser for. Mobile and desktop are primarily oriented around quick access to the feed, whereas the web is fully featured experience. For starters, we’ve customized the experience to fit the available real estate. Yammer: We don’t believe that mobile, desktop, and web should have identical user interfaces. TechCrunch: Apps are also inconsistent in terms of UI features and whatnot. Forrester also named us a leader in mobile collaboration. Our mobile apps have already won kudos and awards from most quarters. The main focus for both of these versions was speed and reliability.

We released a new Android app in November, and a new iOS app will be in the App Store this month. That said, we feel like our track record on mobile is pretty good. Yammer: I don’t know of a mobile app that doesn’t crash sometimes. TechCrunch : Mobile apps crash on some platforms. In general, we’ve been frustrated with AIR as a development platform, and plan to move to native Windows/Mac apps this year.

It also seems to update versions constantly and crashes a lot. For example, Adobe AIR is a known CPU hog, which causes instability. (You should try it.) That said, there are issues with Adobe AIR that are beyond our control.
Yammer: We released a new version of the desktop client in October which represents a substantial improvement in performance and reliability. TechCrunch: Desktop version regularly freezes. Get ready for a bunch of Yammer clones posting in the comments! Hopefully you’ll use some of your new scratch on getting your act together.
Sure, we could move to Jive or Salesforce or any of the others, but their UIs suck even more than Yammer’s! For what’s basically an enterprise clone of Facebook, Yammer seems to have the “enterprise clone of Facebook” market cornered. We have a cornucopia of very specific complaints (and to his credit Yammer CEO David Sacks has now ventured downstairs twice to address them personally, in addition to forwarding Robin’s our checklist of complaints to Yammer PM Jim Patterson for very detailed feedback which I’m including in this post) but the truth is that no matter how much we hate on it, nothing better exists - at least as far as we’ve seen/covered.
