There are so many blogs by, about and related to Microsoft at this point that it would be almost impossible to make a complete list. But I've gathered quite a few below. Putting this together, I found several blogs that were new to me, so hopefully everyone else will find it useful, as well. Still, this is just a start. Please comment below or e-mail with suggested additions, even if it's your own blog. I'll add to the list over time, and create a standing link to it. -- Todd Bishop

Notes: For more, see Microsoft Community Blogs, MSDN Blogs, TechNet Blogs, TechNet Events Bloggers, and MSDN Events Bloggers, in addition to those in the sidebar, at right. I'm also planning to create an OPML file of all the RSS feeds above, for importing them as a group into a newsreader.
Update, Tuesday morning: Fixed the spelling of Marc Orchant's name. Several people have sent in great suggestions, which I've added. I'll create a standing note here to credit people who contribute, once I'm back in the office next week.
Update, Tuesday evening: I've added more than a dozen blogs to the list since this morning, based on suggestions sent via e-mail, including some blogs I might not have discovered otherwise. Thanks to everyone who has contributed, and please keep 'em coming.
Update, Wednesday night: It's now possible to quickly search all of these blogs, to find information on a specific topic or keyword. Peter Ortner has created two Google Co-Op Custom Search Engines based on this directory. The first searches the blogs authored by Microsoft employees and product groups. Click here to access it. The second searches the outside blogs that offer news and commentary on Microsoft. Click here to access it. Thanks to Peter for putting those together.

I think taking a larger share of Facebook would be a good move. Facebook is preparing itself to be the platform of the web and this is exactly what MS needs. Also incorporating facebook services with outlook and hotmail could be extremely useful. Unfortunately, a complete buyout would put MS's name behind the service which could turn users away (as fickle as young people are) so, like the previous 250 million investment, it would need to be quiet."

Thank you Mr Bishop. Last year you did a story that included a contest that was later cancelled asking to identify Bill Gates old office in Belleview. Would it be possible to view that articles picture again?
{He was pictured tossing a floppy while seated on his desk}
