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. :-)
And still nothing on Delve. Anyone attend the recent SharePoint conference in Vegas? Was it talked about there?
- Nothing new at SPC18. My understanding is that Naomi Moneypenny looks after Delve. Post conference could the team update on the Future of Delve please? Jeff_Teper danholme Mark-Kashman.
Any word on Blogs? I don't think people are including Blogs and Profiles when they are talking about Delve, but for me they are all in the category of "uncertain what microsoft is doing with the glue" of O365.
It's confusing now because you click on someone's name and you go to this page that is sort of a profile page sort of not -- it has their name and contact information, who they work for, some of their public or shared documents, a mini icon of their schedule, and -- oddly, in my opinion -- a button that says "View Profile". Well what am I on if not their profile, their "Delve page"?
We recently filled in our Organization into O365 so that made profiles more interesting. That combined with the "/who" command in Teams is pretty cool.
Maybe I will wake up one day and the Delve pieces, the profile pieces, and the LinkedIn pieces will all pop in place!!
One day.
Mark-KashmanNaomi MoneypennyAnne MichelsJeremy ThakeI encourage you to read what @Rob O’Keefe has written up today. It really articulates a real world scenario within Office 365. Is it possible for you all to collectively state where and when the pieces ‘will pop in place’? This really is golden feedback in my opinion. Thanks!
