Whats up over at Microsoft?
Â
I just cleaned out my RSS feed reader for all the inactive feeds that were not being updated. Fortunately Google Reader is good at giving me that info.
Â
But over half of the inactive feeds were from Microsoft staff blogs, mostly about Office products, Sharepoint, Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Word etc. In most cases the sites had never been updated to say that the person was no longer working on that team or had stopped blogging about the product. In a couple of instances there wsa an explanation and a redirect to a team blog that was being updated.
I think Microsoft staff need to think more clearly about the strategy of just randomly creating blogs purporting to offer assistance, developer advice, hints and tips and insights into their products and then just drop them. One had a big ft 3 posts, one to say she was starting, one real post and one to say she was stopping. At the very least plan them out, make them team blogs, etc.

Real world lesson:
If you are going to blog about anything - your life, your hobby, your work, some topic you are knowledgable about - then for goodness sake follow some basic principles.
End of Rant.
