My second session from SPTechCon San Francisco 2014 in which I walk through the state of social in SharePoint, with insights into where Microsoft is going, and what is available today for integration with on prem environments, including governance, storage optimization, and visibility issues across social components and hybrid solutions (some aspects in the cloud, others on prem).

be fast and effective

13. Social is
more than just
technology

15. For more of a dev perspective with detail on APIs, Beyond Social
User Profile Service
Profile DB

People and

User profile
properties
#Hashtags Feed posts
Site and

Personal
storage
space
Managed
Metadata
Content DB
(site collection per-user)

16. Conversations are stored in a Content Database in Micro-feed-type lists, and the
rest, such as tags, etc., are in a User Profile Social Database

17. …and then the
fell.

38. “Organizational success with
social media is fundamentally
a leadership and management
challenge, not a technology
implementation.”
The Social Organization, Bradley and McDonald (Gartner)

of the time it's not
intentional -- its
institutional.
Make social more visible

47. But if people don’t participate,
you’ll have nothing to measure.
