Robert Scoble has written some interesting notes on the challenges facing Microsoft as it tries to develop online communities around its products. Considering how companies like Userland and Macromedia are showing how loosely-coupled communities like blogspaces can drive interest in a company and its products, it’s no surprise that MS wants to go down the same road. The only question seems to be how well they can pull it off.

If you think anything I write here represents the opinions of anybody but myself, you need more help than I can give you. The opinions are all mine, folks. Nobody else's. ESPECIALLY not my employer's.
If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. (Unless you consider staying employed in this economy a miracle.) I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
