Yammer has also taken a page from the Facebook/Friendfeed playbook and created thread conversations that look similar to the ones you see in your Facebook activity stream. The threaded view is only available on the web, but it will come to Yammer's desktop app soon.
These are just the biggest new features. There are also countless small improvements - landscape mode and camera support for the iPhone app, for example - that you can check out on Yammer's blog.
