New infographic: Periodic Table of Office 365
Deleted has found an engaging way to present The Waffle (or La Gaufre), but the analogy could even be taken a little further! With a vague recollection of high school chemistry, here goes:
Sway: Helium (He). Refuses to interact with anything else, makes your voice sound funny.
Flow: Phosphorus (P). Spontaneously combusts, never quite know when it's going to start working. Handle with extreme care.
SharePoint: Sodium (Na). Shiny and new, until you take it our of the jar. Then quickly goes dull grey.
PowerPoint: Arsenic (As). The phrase "death by PowerPoint" is already in common use. Toxic to any large audience.
OneNote: Krypton (Kr). Superman, need I say more?
Mail: Potassium (K). Handle with care. As a salt it seems innocuous enough, but in its pure form it actually explodes in water.
Calendar: Barium (Ba). Used to tell whether you're "regular", in a gastrointestinal kinda way.
Teams: Tantalum (Ta). Tantalisingly similar to an unnamed competitor product.
Yammer: Tungsten (W). Lightbulb moments. Durable and hard-wearing compounds.
Visio: Iridium (Ir). Highest information density, must be combined as an alloy with Word or PowerPoint.

Benjamin Elias, Great analogy to Office 365.
