We have decided to have a bit of fun and also learn from each other in a 3 day contest.
You have until Friday 12th (10pm GMT), to come up with the most creative answer by filling in the blanks to this statement :
My favourite SharePoint feature is _____ because ______
Fellow member, Joe Litton has kindly agreed to pick a winner for us. That’s it, simple! You can also have as many goes as you want. If you need incentive to have a go, the winner will be given the opportunity to choose a free EBook from our sponsor O’Reilly.
So why not get started? This one is also open to everyone (including me) as I want to have a go at winning!
Oh, yeah if it’s specific to a particular version of SharePoint, or you have a good link, then please share!
Joe’s comments :
Please note: I do appreciate inappropriate, off-putting, offensive comments – most anything that spouts from the socially mal-adept is appealing to me. Nonetheless, I shall exercise the duties of this most serious task with the diligence and attention it deserves. And I promise to not judge my own entry as the best …even if it is. Well, unless mine is the only entry 🙂
May favourite SharePoint feature is the required capitalization because SometimesILikeToWriteWholeSentencesWithoutSpaces.
My favourite feature in SharePoint is the power that it gives to an End-User to be self-sufficient from IT. This is good for IT as we can get on building really cool things instead of re-inventing the wheel.
My favourite SharePoint (2013) feature is hmmm I don’t really have a specific one but at the moment it’s the Content Search WebPart (CSWP). This webpart is great for displaying content from the search index on a page, it’s fast and can be styled to look anyway you want which is great.
I also like pulling in search results from the likes of FaceBook, Twitter and YouTube to search centers via OpenSearch
Stephanie – you have picked well with SharePoint. It’s getting madly popular now.
My favourite SharePoint feature is SharePoint Audiences because they are so powerful when used to target content and once set-up you don’t need to touch them again.
In my experience (through talking with lots of organisations), they are barely used!
