Inside ASI-AP

A number of you have asked me recently how come my blog here is not getting updated as often as it used to.

The main reason is that I have moved to a new tool called Yammer (www.yammer.com) which is like Twitter but it is internal to ASI. Which means I can talk about confidential goings-on at customers and it stays confidential within ASI staff. We have been using Yammer for about 3 months now.

I like Yammer because you can post short snippets, like Twitter, and post often. It requires a lot less thinking than putting together a blog entry.

Of course the downside is that outside of ASI you can't see what is going on, which was the whole point of this blog in the first place ....

So over the coming weeks I am going to work harder at Twitter. I have created a link between my Twitter account (www.twitter.com/paulramsbottom) and Yammer so tweets I make into Twitter will flow into Yammer, that way it updates both inside and outside the ASI staff network. And we have also setup tweets from some ASI staff flowing into the left hand nav box of this www.insideasiap.com blog site.

We'll see how it goes. Feedback welcome!
