Howdy folks,
On March 9
th
, the Azure AD team hosted its first "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) on Reddit. A bunch of us gathered in a big conference room, and even more of the team joined on a Skype call (sadly, the Skypers didn't get any of the snacks or pizza). And so many of you asked such great questions that we learned a lot ourselves. Thank you for participating!
If you haven't had a chance to go through the thread yet, I recommend you
take a look
. There's a lot of interesting and valuable information there.
Just about to start!
Everyone hard at work AMAing
So how did it go? Pretty awesome! Some quick stats:
-
More than
50 people
from our team participated, and some of our wonderful MVPs and representatives from our Microsoft partner teams joined, as well
-
We had
102 top-level questions
(29 per hour) and
449 total
comments (128 per hour)
-
Our post was upvoted by
96% of people
with a total of
72 points.
This compares with:
-
25
- average number of points for of all other /r/Azure AMAs (a
284% increase
!)
-
89%
- average upvote percentage for all other /r/Azure AMAs (a
7.8% increase
!)
-
We answered
99% of questions during the event
-
The
Azure AD AMA page
had
2,586 hits
in the five days surrounding the event, and is
still getting 60-100 hits
per day
For questions per hour, total comment count, and response rate, we're the new AMA champions at Microsoft. The SQL team has us beat for total number of questions, though, so we'll definitely host another AMA in the future and try to knock them off the top. We're looking forward to it and hope you'll join us!
