I figured I should probably be talking a bit more about the tools that I/we use and love.

We use Yammer at work and it's fantastic. It fills a perfect niche for sharing information across our four-person team. I've also found that Gabble is the best client for it and, as of the latest update, it solves all but one of my minor beefs with it.

It now has image viewing inline (before attachments would often get lost), it will resize the text area without bumping the text below the screen if Gabble is at the bottom of the screen (this is a complicated description, but trust me, it was annoying), and a bug fix that never really affected me.

The only thing that Gabble could fix that's bothering me right now is that it often reposts an entire day's worth of Yammer entries (I refuse to call them "yams") to Growl, cluttering that up for a bit. I think this happens when it unexpectedly quits or updates.

At any rate, Yammer + Gabble is a very nice tool.
