Corporate Face to the Blogosphere - Moi? It’s surprising seeing my name pop up over the past few days as some one who could step up and “be the corporate face to the blogosphere:” via Niall Kennedy Says Goodbye To Microsoft Randy Morin says: Scoble gone. Niall gone. Someone at Microsoft has to step up and be the corporate face to the blogosphere. Who will it be? A great opportunity for some existing Microsoft bloggers. Randy’s linking to Frank Arrigo, Don Box and Alex Barnett. I vote for Alex, if only because I’ve met him and he’s really cool and personable. Alex wishes Niall luck. Let me read that again - Randy’s linking to Frank Arrigo, Don Box and Alex Barnett. I am so NOT in the same league as Don Box and Alex Barnett. For a start, both of there guys are smart and have great things to say. They are from product groups. I, on the other hand am over on the other side of the world, in Sydney, Australia . Sure, I worked in a product team over 10 years ago, but I am not there now.  I am just a humble manager within the Australian Developer and Platform Evangelism Team, responsible for a wonderful team of individuals (as recently featured on The Colbert Report ). That said, why the need for a single corporate face? There’s thousands of MS bloggers on https://blogs.msdn.com and https://blogs.technet.com , not to mention all the other MS bloggers who are on Spaces, Blogger, Wordpress as well as their own custom domains. We’ve got many “corporate faces”, folks from the field, folks from product teams, folks from MSR, folks from all over the place. All giving us a view of what it is like within MS. It’s been quite fascinating seeing this all develop and to actually be part of it all. Anyways, as I said at the start, it’s has been surprising seeing my name appear in places outside of Australia [ Currently Playing : Technologic - Daft Punk - Human After All (04:47) ] Comments Anonymous August 13, 2006 Google thinks you are the ideal candidate.
