How do you use social today?

Ground-Level View ofSharePoint Social

You

So does she

Him too

As she posts…

Everyone following her gets notified

Write

Read

The micro-feed enables users to

Participate in conversations by posting comments and replies

Post pictures and links

Use tags (starting with the # symbol) to define keywords that users can follow and search for

Use mentions (starting with the @ symbol) to tag users in posts and replies

Indicate agreement with comments and replies by clicking Like.

Follow people, documents, sites, and tags to customize their feed

Office 365 has all these capabilities too, btw.
