Communication Tool Testers Needed

We have been looking into communication and collaboration tools that can serve as a virtual network for our community - a platform where we can ask questions, share resources, offer best practices, or just connect over a common topic. After extensive research, we picked two finalists: Trello and Northwestern's Yammer - and we ask you to pick the winner! We have set-up a dashboard on both platforms and are looking for volunteers to test the applications and give us feedback. This includes 15-30 minutes of testing, and a lunch hour of feedback and free pizza. If interested, please email Janka Pieper by April 12.
