Announcements - How do I see them in this new network?
I've noticed a post marked as 'Featured' - that may go some way to helping highlight Microsoft announcement posts
MicrosoftIndeed! We have the ability to Feature posts and to 'Float' posts so that they appear at the top of communities and spaces. This is our strategy at the moment as we investigate other ways to push important messaging.
I know you guys are doing the best you can with the tools you have, but this is a poor substitue for the Yammer announcement feature. (Similar to Pinned conversations on most other form boards). Over time these build up and you have a long list of pinned conversations.
(And if you look at the screen shot, I can't even read what the announcement is)
Now, if you gave me a way to subscribe to email alerts for these pinned conversations only in each group then I am getting closer to the Yammer method assuming someone is moderating what is pinned.

Hey Salvatore,
Here you can see that this SharePoint post is 'floated' at the top of the SharePoint group... meaning that it doesn't get pushed down when recent posts come in. 'Featuring' it means that it stays at the top of the larger SharePoint community in a similar fashion. We are working on some iconography or colored borders to show that this is happening.
Fine! Can you please tell us where we can see such examples? I have not yet seen any of them...
