I always feel like, somebody's watching me... (Dynamics 365 Tech Conference edition)

So I recently spent a week at the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Technical Conference in Seattle.  While enjoying some of the "networking time" between sessions, Jon Stypula and I thought it would be fun to play with some of the tech that's being constantly released by Microsoft.  With our laptops, coffee, subscriptions to Office 365, and some of the most poorly followed Twitter accounts on the planet, we started down our path.

Long story short, @FacesofD365Tech was born.  Using a combination of Twitter, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Logic Apps, Microsoft Flow, and Microsoft Cognitive Services, we created a bot that automatically inspected all tweets to the approved hashtags - #D365Tech, #Dyn365Tech (thanks Sri!), #MSDynAX, and #MSDyn365 - for images, scanned them for faces of people through the Microsoft Cognitive Services Face API, and then tweeted out the results to #D365Tech.

Since we finally got around to doing this at the end of the conference, there wasn't a ton of response.  We thought it was pretty cool, though, and certainly a testament to the power of the platforms provided by Microsoft to enable things that seem like pure magic from a couple hours of work.

There's probably not going to be a ton of action on this particular Twitter handle after the event, but check it out if you want a chuckle!
