What defines an "expert"?
- Nov 01, 2017
Great questions. Other thread with similar questions at: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Tech-Community-Blog/Microsoft-Tech-Community-July-5-Release-Profile-Page-update/bc-p/84981
Hi Paul - yes, i know, thank you. My point was the post appears in Experts category of the dashboard not when one of MVP:s, etc. initiates the conversation, but only when one of them answers on the question. But again, that's only my guess.
Hi everyone, when you click on 'My Home' and click to view conversations involving 'Experts' you are looking at all conversations involving product experts at Microsoft or MVPs. As per the screenshot from Deleted MVPs have green rings around their avatar and product experts at Microsoft have blue rings. Hope this clarifies!

Still chasing this down, but I am of the understanding that it only pulls conversations from spaces you've favorited. I'll follow up as I learn more.

We're looking into this - we're investigating if it only pulls conversations from spaces that the user has favorited which would explain why you're only seeing familiar faces. MichaelHolste is helping me out on this one.
- Jan 23, 2017Thanks Anna, but what determines which conversations from experts are surfaced under "Experts" in "My Home"?
There are a number of MVPs and other experts on here answering questions and posting but I tend to see the same faces listed.
Is there a logic around how many responses were marked as answers, how many likes and other things that determine which experts get surfaced? - SergeiBaklanJan 23, 2017Diamond Contributor
Thank you. It looks like i understand my mistake - here are only conversations with experts on which i subscribed; or in Spaces on which i subscribed. Forgot about this.
