In recent conversations, the site visits team discussed Facebook and the phenomenon sweeping the planet with this online social network that EVERYONE under 25 is addicted to. So, I went to the site … but what intrigued me was the BLOGS (link found at bottom of Facebook homepage) which were enlightening, relevant, and juicy, maybe because I’m still feeling West Coast-ish!

Enthusiast Evangelist at Microsoft - “The newly created position at Microsoft … Our jobs are basically to go out and mingle, bond, and touch influential end users and show them all the cool things that Microsoft has to offer” … (you have to read the blog, name dropping like “I got to see Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer in person. Ballmer screams loudly like Chris Farley’s motivational speaker character … I got to visit the mother ship. I got to be an insider at one of the most influential companies in the world.”), oh but then her next blog …”9-1/2 weeks: Leaving Microsoft not as sexy or tormenting … I am a creative, right-brainer, and truly passionate lover of the web … (Steph’s life story) explaining, “People are literally creating great things out of nothing because, well, we can, with open source, web-based apps … explaining 2.0 is the democratizing technology making it accessible to anyone regardless of economic status, class, or means. If you have some kind of computer or handheld device, web 2.0 has everything one needs to start their own business … so many thoughts strengths of blogging, Microsoft Office, winning behind the scenes, etc.” Conflicts from within for this idealist, so she resigns … A great read!
