So I don’t get accused of jumping on the bandwagon in months to come, I have today drawn some new conclusions about platforms and “next.0″ Internet apps. As we all watch on to see if FaceBook topples back into the blue ocean or becomes a Google, my current conclusion is that I am simply bored [...]
The job specs will be posted at the Microsoft careers pages soon (the only official source for recruiting at MSFT I might add) but I have a few positions on my team in the UK and thought I would mention it to readers. The first role is a technical product manager who will develop specifications [...]
I feel like I am being fed on a high volume, high power hose pumping liquid opportunities at me. It’s hard to keep up, rather like you can’t breath pure Oxygen (sic pun). I know some people get lost in big organizations. I seem to thrive in them. Here are some tips for what’s working [...]

Many people often start these [...]
