On Wednesday, we spent our lunch break discussing what we liked about SharePoint, what we considered to be its biggest challenges, as well as what we looked forward to most with SharePoint 2013 . But just because we spent an hour talking about SharePoint doesn't mean it was serious business. Who knew that SharePoint could be this much fun?!
With SharePoint 2013 on the brain, many of us were eager to dive in, but that would come later. First, we needed to focus on SharePoint 2010. What is it that we appreciate most? Overwhelming, managed metadata was the most popular, followed by the Ribbon, document libraries and workflows.

Not surprisingly, user adoption drives SharePoint implementation. We all know that SharePoint's usage within companies is constantly called into question. Rest assured, though, EIMChat participants were also focused on issues of planning and governance, as well as storage, price and flexibility when deciding to take the SharePoint plunge.
