Breaking News :: Register snubs Scoble … Again

September 21, 2005 by admin  
Filed under Computers

Never bear a grudge, my mother used to tell me. So what about this? In a piece about Microsoft’s reorganization, Andrew Orlowski ~ yes, ’tis he ~ has this to say : “And the reaction from inside Microsoft? We turned to Microsoft’s most famous weblogger – a character renowned and lauded for his integrity. … But no word, yet, from Who Da’Punk.”

Alas poor Yorick Scoble … we knew him well.

Sparing no expense, this blog is delighted to bring you the first reaction from the lips of Dr Who …er … Who did you say? … Who Da’Punk :

Thank goodness, I felt like we’ve at least been thrown a bone. Microsoft certainly needed a reorg – something like a good, vigorous shaking of one of those snow-globes. Now, how it’s all going to play remains to be seen. But I hope that as part of the good shaking that some of the cruft breaks off and gets swept out and some of the cream rises to the top.

(Believe me, that’s a much better metaphor than the enema one I initially started with late last night based off of the initial reorg disclosures in the comments here.)

What a star.

    Got to say this isn’t a new thing, maybe a smiley face in the heading :-)
    Orlowski and Scobe/Winer have been at war as long as I’ve been blogging.

    Sure, it goes back to the row over toolbars in IE7 Beta, as far as I’m aware.
