Microsoft Critic Mini-mizing Himself

The blogger known as Mini-Microsoft will take a break from the anonymous posting on Microsoft's internal operations now that the company has revamped its internal review processes. Microsoft's best known blogger is Robert Scoble, but Scoble's post after the announcements: "Is Lisa reading Mini? Damn straight she is. This is the "Mini-smackdown" I wanted to see. Hopefully these changes will get us on a more customer-centric path." Danny Westneat at the Seattle Times posted on the changes to the review process that he had loathed in a number of blog entries, and how it was time to take a break: A stark realization came to me when the review performance model changed. The dreaded trended 3.0 is finally gone! Finally. Gone. Why wasn't I shaking my boo-tay and dancing around like Tony Manero? Amidst all of the great changes and the cheering, my heart felt heavy. Something's not right, and I don't feel right with myself.... So does this mean that this is the end of Mini-Microsoft? For now, yes, but only my end of it. The rest is up to you.
