Last week I wrote about a post that Robert Scoble made on his blog, Scobleizer. Robert's post was about Microsoft and Steve Ballmer and how Ballmer should visit the grass roots and talk to them openly about what is happening at Microsoft.I agreed with the premise, but I didn't think that Microsoft had much to talk about because in my opionion they hadn't produced anything remarkable in 10 years.
Well, much to my surprise, Robert Scoble visited MultiLeveler and even left a comment.
Robert Scoble:
I totally agree with you, but I think Steve actually DOES have someSweet! First, I would have to say that this is the first time an A-list blogger has ever left a comment on one of my blogs in 3 years of blogging, so thanks Mr. Scoble. That was prett cool. Second, I do agree about Xbox, although I haven't seen a good reason to buy the Xbox 360 yet.
interesting things to tell the grassroots. First of all, he should LISTEN
to them. They are driving the bad PR on his own personal brand. Why?
Cause Steve seems aloof and out of touch.
Microsoft does have some interesting things to talk about, by the way.
Windows Media Center and Xbox, for instance.
Third, I promise to look into the Windows Media Center and I think that MSFT should still be paying you.
It's been fun to watch this little conversation develop. Just wanted you to know my eyes were on it all the way, Ty!
