Microsoft: Email Outage, SharePoint Changes & More

With Microsoft being heavily involved in the news this week, I decided to recap their highs and quite possibly their lows that hit headline news across the world. Let's start with this - Early last week, Microsoft announced that they are planning on narrowing options for Office 365 tenancies by effectively ending the "native" Sharepoint Online public newsfeed - This change is set to take effect in June 2018. It's said that this change will affect the "public newsfeed" used by various organizations, which is also known as the "company feed" by many. As of June, the "public newsfeed" will become "read only" for organizations that are currently using it, which basically means that it can be read but not modified or updated. Having said that, Microsoft wants organizations to use Team News, Communication Sites or Yammer feeds as their main means for company posts and communication.
