Mac Mojo (20061015)
While on the subject of Eudora, I realized I hadn’t posted about the Microsoft Macintosh Business Unit (aka MacBU) blog, which has been in service since about August, 2006.

I am highly interested in the idea of corporate transparency in the era of Web 2.0 and so I think a blog like this is a good thing. Sure, the inner workings of the Mac for Office group at Microsoft are not as life changing for as many people as the moves McDonald’s makes in its coporate responsibility (see that blog here). However, I have an interest in what’s going on with what the MacBU is doing, since I use a lot of the stuff they produce. The thing I notice when reviewing it are the comments, which allow a frankness not allowed previously on a Web site. I don’t know if the comments are censored or held at all, but there’s some fairly possibly inflammatory stuff going on. Letting it lie there is a good thing. Builds trust.

One thing I might suggest is a little more information about the things that aren’t going well, with specifics. There’s a thing on there about how they made a mistake with Messenger for Mac 6.0 but never say what the problem was.
