People probably think that Yammer purposefully makes it difficult when the reality is that 1) departing customers are a small fraction of users and 2) it's difficult to prioritize highly a feature to "close an account".

Should closing an account really even be considered to be a "feature". It should just be there - a basic building block of every application.

wait, basic building blocks of applications aren't features?

A feature is what ever you make it out to be by definition. You could call a text field or a button a feature if you wanted to.

I just think that closing your account is something more fundamental that being what we traditional think of as a 'feature'.

Ah, but you can delete your Yammer data. You just can't do it in batch.

It's not a priority anywhere to implement batch features, even if it were the opposite---batch additions.

Happy users are billable users.
