Yammer on Linux; with Wine, it works!

If you are a Yammer user, you probably already know that Gwibber doesn’t have support quite yet for it, and the Linux version of Yammer hangs, or crashes, when you login or attempt to post.

Since I need Yammer on a daily basis for communication with co-workers about deployments and such, I needed to find a way to get this working under Linux.

The solution, wine.  

To get this going, first download the Windows 32-bit Adobe AIR installer and install.  Once that’s complete, download the Yammer AIR client (Yammer.air), and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe Air\VERSIONNUMBER\ and run Adobe AIR Application Installer.  Select the Yammer.air file, install, and you are good to go.  Works flawlessly.
