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. :-)
Related to Delve, I would also like to know the future of Profiles, will there be a home for them (People Explorer?) that integrates LinkedIn when Delve no longer exists? People Explorer would allow you to click on a skill or fact like University and see all the people with that same thing. [EDIT: I just found something close to this in the new search capability]
Second, personal blogs. We have a few people who go to the trouble of digging through Delve to write a personal blog, but they are never surfaced and there is no Home Base for people to see them (unless I am missing something).
So much potential, so little "there" there...
At Ignite Microsoft said it are seperated graph's and that is why you can not get full profile into Office 365. Maybe in the future they will merge but I think not in the short run
- Thanks for the response... I don't get what that means in practical terms. *What are the different graphs?
As a side note, we have been exploring better use of People search and have a lot of old profiles. They are lingering in the Site Collection profiles, which I don't really know what those are. About 5% of our former employees have some lingering profile even though they have been removed from Sharepoint and account deleted.- Rob, I’ve noticed the old profile problem too. Note the common problems this discussion has prompted. In my original entry I copied the Microsoft leads and would value a reply. People invest in the platform and while the ‘speed of the cloud’ means constant change clearing up what’s gone before is important. Once again Mark-Kashman danholme Naomi Moneypenny we’re looking to you for feedback in the most positive way.
