Microsoft and community

2003-02-07 20:59:02+01 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Scoble talks about Microsoft and community. One of the discussions we had last night was about the ways that NDAs and similar restrictions keep us from giving manufacturers free press. Often good free press. But as I'm discovering with digital cameras, few people are willing to take the risk that their product is good in order to discover new markets, new applications, or let people share use patterns.

A Microsoft employee has asked a few follow-up questions, I've put a response in the comments. To summarize, the first question is:

Are we way off, or do we just need a little tweak in our approach to communities?

You don't take an "approach to communities". We participate in communities.

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
