The Future of Delve
- Jun 05, 2018
We certainly understand and know the pain point. We've been focused on enabling good authoring experience, feel we can offer a good team or executive (CxO) style blog with a dedicated communication site + news approach; esp with coming organizational news. But alas, the personal blog alludes explicit. One can publish news often in many locations (to a team site, to a comm site, to a hub site) and the feed of it goes out to people they are related to, even if the person is not active in the site where it gets published, the Microsoft Graph knows the relations and serves up as best a "feed" it can to each user - without requiring that person to "go to someone's blog." That said, the heads are noodling in these areas for sure. One thing you got me thinking about was a way to present all news someone publishes in all places they can, and seeing the feed through the eyes of what the person logged in has permissions to view. So you would see someone's "blog" but only have visibility to the content you're allowed to view. Just thinking out loud. let's loop in John_Sanders who is our news guru these days to review and possibly add some comments; plus Dave Cohen (US) who owns some of these pieces, too. :-)
VladTalksTech thanks for posting. I hope microsoft does something else to promote personal publishing in a company environment.
I think their "answer" is to use Communications Sites, but they feel much more like corporate communications being pushed to employees rather than an employee writing their personal thoughts.
Maybe the new version of Yammer we will encourage personal blogs in a Yammer group.
RobOK Very telling in this thread, in two years of conversations, only one person from Microsoft on one occasion posted a response, but did not answer the question. In two years. I'd love to learn more. Where is the roadmap for Delve? It would be nice just to add a "cell phone" field to a Delve profile. You know, cell phones, a few of us are using them.... 🙂

Prescient_Digital I don't know if you saw the post a couple above, Microsoft announced they are getting rid of Delve!
Not sure the future of profiles. A long standing weak spot of O365, hopefully they show it some love!

Do we have a future for Delve? How about new "intelligent" People Profile Cards for Project Cortex?
