Thomas Hawk praises new Microsoft Media Center blogger

October 26, 2005 By

I’m giving a talk tomorrow about corporate blogging. Thomas Hawk’s post caught my eye today where he praised the Media Center team for interacting with their customers and having conversations. That’s it. We’ve punched holes through all the intermediaries and now anyone can talk with the Media Center team about what they are doing. Think they suck? Now you have a place to say so. Of course, if you wanna know more, it’s a great place to ask questions too.

    That’s some pretty pretentious twaddle, even for you, Scobie.

    Now, I see this almost everyday with the Xbox team. With “Major Nelson” and “Trixie” talking to the community every day…it goes unnoticed.

    No, you didn’t. You’ve got a conversation between a few people on the web. That’s it.

    “that’s it”

    That’s a lot. You’re here, right? I don’t think anyone would diminish your importance.

    I’m still not sure who is more important to a blog, the writer, or the readers.

    No offense, Robert, but sometimes I think it’s the community that surrounds the blog, which brings value to it. Even the likes of Goebbels.

    For every person who comments, there might be 10 or 100 who read a blog, but don’t. And a percentage of those who don’t comment will instead use what they’ve read either in conversation, or in their business.

    So who cares about numbers? Over 50 people commented on a blog post by the Media Center Team. If it were only 5, then that’s cool, but 50? These are 50 people who are passionate, for one reason or another, about the Media Center.

    If that’s pretentious twaddle, I say let’s have more!
