The real question: How to keep Microsoft on the transparency track | |
|
||
| Time: 15:01 EST/20:01 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
The April Wired Magazine cover story on "Radical Transparency," with its case study on Microsoft's Channel 9 and blogging initiatives, is making some waves, but for the wrong reasons. Some media members are simply shocked that Microsoft's PR team keeps dossiers on the reporters and bloggers who cover the company. That's old news, folks. And not even very interesting news. | ||

Most major corporations do this. This is probably the least newsworthy thing posted here in recent memory. Now, if it could be proven that they (or any other major corp) *didn't* keep such a dossier, then *that* would be newsworthy!
And in other news, the Pope is Catholic. |

| Well, the real story is how MS sent this guy his dossier by accident. I could riff on how MS stumbles again on security & privacy, but that would be too easy. |

It would only be a privacy issue if Microsoft sent him someone elses dossier. Sending someone their own dossier is not a privacy breach issue, except maybe your own privacy.
This incident is more of a procedural one than a security or privacy issue. |

| Also, from what I saw, this is less of a dossier, and more of a summary of a dossier, highlighting the more important bits from it. |

Cop #1 - "I reckon it's over between me and my lady"
Cop #2 - "Oh yeah? What happened?" Cop #1 - "Well, we had a fight, I lost my temper and I said something about the Pope." Cop #2 - "That was stupid! You know she's Catholic!" Cop #1 - "I know she's Catholic, but I didn't know the Pope was..." |

| Wired? Didn't that die years ago? |
