Microsoft has shifted its Microsoft 365 Insider blog to the Tech Community platform. Initially started as the Office Insider blog nearly five years ago, it has been a primary source for updates on new features in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. The migration aims to leverage the functionalities of the Tech Community platform to boost user engagement and interaction.
Broader Access to Resources
The Tech Community platform offers a range of resources such as blog posts and event promotions. It aims to create a more collaborative environment among Microsoft 365 users, MVPs, and Community Ambassadors. With this new setting, users are expected to more easily connect with experts and fellow users to share timely information.
Microsoft made the announcement on the last ever post on the standalone 365 Insider page. The site will also act as a hub for events like AMAs (Ask Me Anything) sessions. Microsoft believes this new location will encourage better collaboration and interaction, thus enhancing the overall user experience. The initial post on the new platform is a comprehensive Microsoft 365 Insider handbook, detailing the program’s apps, sign-up process, and update mechanisms.
Motivation Behind the Shift
Microsoft has highlighted several reasons for this move, including increased engagement, improved community interaction, broader resource access, and enhanced collaboration. The new platform is designed to achieve these goals, offering a cohesive and interactive space for the Microsoft 365 Insider community.
Microsoft’s reasons for shifting the blog
- “Enhanced Engagement: The Tech Community is designed for sharing timely information and driving community engagement.
- Community Interaction: The Tech Community facilitates engagement with a larger community of Microsoft 365 users, MVPs, and Community Ambassadors, and enables you to share your thoughts, ask questions, and participate in discussions.
