Mini-Microsoft retiring from blog?

The anonymous employee behind the Mini-Microsoft blog announces in this post that he'll be ending his active role on the blog, at least for now, except for occasionally linking to an interesting article or reposting another person's comment. In addition to citing a need for personal reflection, he says he wants to wait and see what happens with Microsoft's overhaul of its employee-review process, among other recently announced changes in areas that have been central subjects of the blog.

The changes, he writes, "are going to take time to grow and I'm not going to poke them with a sharp stick until they've had their chance to prove themselves."

And finally, not that it narrows things down that much, but those assembling clues about Mini's identity will pick up from his last post that he's apparently a fan of "The Princess Bride." Some Microsoft employees will no doubt be taking a closer look now at any DVDs on the shelves of their co-workers.

FEATURED COMMENT

PictureMicrosoft, you really need to start looking for revenue elsewhere. Resorting to bribing users to use your products and services is just plain embarrassing.
