The Future of Delve
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. :-)
Very interested in this as well!
I think the writing is on the wall but it would be good to get some specifics if that's anywhere near right. This is, for me, is the biggest clue Delve is not flavour of the month, along with the Windows 10 app being chopped:
"At Microsoft, our vision of search in the enterprise centers on bringing personalized search results to wherever you may be working, from across your intranet, and even the internet. By infusing artificial intelligence (AI) into our familiar experiences in Office, search and discovery become part of your everyday work, rather than a separate destination."
This integrated, smarter search is out soon, via the MC, in SharePoint Online and I think is indicative of these features being available wherever you are in Office 365, extending into Windows 10.
"The search experience has been redesigned and streamlined to make it easier for you to find and filter results. Results are ranked based on personal relevance as determined by your collaborative behaviors in the Microsoft Graph and results will now include people, list items, and news."
Anyway, that's enough of my supposition!
