Microsoft’s Deep Throat

In a related story to the Business Week cover on key talent leaving Microsoft, Jay Greene interviews Microsoft’s Deep Throat, the voice of Mini-Microsoft. The article shows that other side of corporate blogging and notes the shifting balance between employee and employer. As Charlene Li says in the article, “You can keep it hidden or get those voices out there and deal with the problem.”

For more reaction to the article, see Todd Bishop’s post and Ed Brill picks up Ballmer’s opinion of blogs from the cover story Q/A.

Scoble is joining us for the Seminar series and I’d expect he’ll want to talk about this with the audience.
