I'm doing an extra talk at SharePoint Connect 2014 - Social Refiners is the game!

Back in May I posted about SharePoint Connect 2014 letting me in to do a talk about Search Queries Explained. A vacant spot just opened up and I was asked if I could do one more, and I jumped at the chance.

I've decided to do a developer talk on how to create "Social" refiners on your search result pages.

The session will involve Display Templates and JavaScript with some FQL sprinkled in. I will show how to create my trusty old Department refiner for content and a refiner for content close to you, both based on your organization, who you follow and who you interact with from the Office Graph.

Hopefully you will pick up a trick or two and get some ideas for your next project - and if you are near sighted, sit up front as it's all code :)
