Yammer Seeks to Simplify Enterprise Social Network Usage With Upgrade

Yammer has upgraded its cloud-based enterprise social networking software with new and improved features designed to make it easier for end users to manage their content.

The upgrades, which will be rolled out progressively to all users over the next two weeks, include a new content repository, appropriately called Inbox, for the multiple types of activity notifications users receive.

Instead of having to monitor a continuously updated activity stream, and risk missing important notifications that scroll by when they're not looking, users can review the Inbox, which corrals notifications so that they can be reviewed when it's convenient.

The Inbox will contain elements like direct messages, alerts about new replies on threads users are participating in or monitoring, and notifications about new content added to groups or online communities they belong to.

From the Inbox, users will be able to also take action on the notifications they see, including replying to messages and posting comments on discussion threads.

Yammer has also revamped the software's home page, displaying prominently notifications that are of particular relevance to users, such as files and pages that are being actively shared, viewed and discussed.

The new home page also features a section for key company content, such as important calendars, personnel manuals and the like, so that these resources are easily accessible to users.

"We want to make sure that the things you're looking at are relevant to you," said Adam Pisoni, Yammer's CTO.

The Yammer upgrade also adds a feature called Online Now that displays which user contacts are available at a particular moment and allows co-workers to engage in multi-party chats. This feature also archives conversations and makes them searchable.

Recently acquired by Microsoft for US$1.2 billion in cash, Yammer is one of many companies offering software that companies can use to create workplace social networks.

F-Bomb added to Merriam-Webster dictionary along with sexting, flexitarian and obesogenic

(AP) NEW YORK It's about freakin' time.

The term "F-bomb" surfaced in newspapers more than 20 years ago but will land Tuesday for the first time in the mainstream Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, along with sexting, flexitarian, obesogenic, energy drink and life coach.

In all, the company picks about 100 additions for the 114-year-old dictionary's annual update, gathering evidence of usage over several years in everything from media to the labels of beer bottles and boxes of frozen food.

So who's responsible for lobbing F-bomb far and wide? Kory Stamper, an associate editor for Merriam-Webster, said she and her fellow word spies at the Massachusetts company traced it back to 1988, in a Newsday story that had the now-dead Mets catcher Gary Carter talking about how he had given them up, along with other profanities.

But the word didn't really take off until the late `90s, after Bobby Knight went heavy on the F-bombs during a locker room tirade.

"We saw another huge spike after Dick Cheney dropped an F-bomb in the Senate in 2004," and again in 2010 when Vice President Joe Biden did the same thing in the same place, Stamper said.

"It's a word that is very visually evocative. It's not just the F-word. It's F-bomb. You know that it's going to cause a lot of consternation and possible damage," she said.

Many online dictionary and reference sites already list F-bomb and other entries Merriam-Webster is only now putting into print. A competitor, Oxford University Press, has F-bomb under consideration for a future update of its New Oxford American Dictionary but beat Merriam-Webster to print on a couple of other newcomers: mash-up, added to the Oxford book in 2005, and cloud computing, included in 2010.

No worries, Stamper said. The dictionary biz isn't a race.

'F-bomb,' 'sexting' land in Merriam-Webster dictionary

After apparently first landing in the late 1980s, "F-bomb" has finally left its mark in the newest edition of the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.

The F-word derivative joins sexting, flexitarian, obesogenic, energy drink and life coach and 94 other new words included in the annual update, which will be published today, the Associated Press says.

Back in October 2007, a "Kimberley" from Pennsylvania submitted the F-bomb for M-W's consideration. She defined it as a euphemism for "the notorious 'F' word, especially when a person uses that word frequently or capriciously."

Here's how the 114-year-old M-W defines the euphemism for that special word, which cannot be spelled out around these parts.

Take a gander at the top 25 new words.

Keep in mind that dictionaries are not bleeding-edge linguistic lighthouses; they lag the turbocharged lingua franca du jour, blessing words only after they're splashing about in the mainstream. And M-W has lagged its competitors -- sometimes by several years -- in adding other commonly used words.

So who are the cultural bombardiers, and when did F-bombs start falling? AP writes:

Kory Stamper, an associate editor for Merriam-Webster, said she and her fellow word spies at the Massachusetts company traced it back to 1988, in a Newsday story that had the now-dead Mets catcher Gary Carter talking about how he had given them up, along with other profanities.
