[...] Microsoft has pulled the trigger, and the new top person at MSN is none other then Joanne Bradford, the software’s top ad-sale and marketing executive. This was talked about earlier on VentureBeat, and now it appears that is is official. [...]

[...] Live badly needs some focus, because most people are confused about what it really stands for, what is part of Live and what isn’t, and whether it matters. VentureBeat was first to report that a major reshuffle was coming, and now its official. AdAge has the summary of all the other executive changes in this latest overhaul: The idea was that by consolidating its ad sales, not only for MSN.com but also for other web-based applications like Xbox Live, Windows Live and Office Live, Microsoft was signaling it was serious about becoming a big media player [...]

I dont know what world MS is in. When I try to use the live.com, it asks me to install some plugin which in turn wants to install .net, at the end it directs me to install the plugin for the office. Accidentally I installed office plugin, it started putting a “Ad” like signature at the end telling reciver to use the link for the directions to meeting location (I did not schedule the meeting outside the my office, nor did I expect some plugin to add it’s lines into my meeting invite). If they want to compete with G, the better understand what makes the G sucessful. It is their simplicity in using their products. If MS wants to hang on to outdated activeX controls, god knows how they’ll turn around

[...] Keep an eye on this, as a source told VentureBeat that there would be a shuffle at Live.com. They are going to put this aside as a “rumor” for now, but you can bet, it’s probably going to be true and confirmed later down the road. I just posted a blog yesterday addressing Dell’s management restructure. I’m sure Microsoft can’t comment until some place (main media) gets their hands or article in and out there first. Technically Speaking, the mainstream media needs to catch up. No one said a race was fair, and these other guys are beating you main media types to the punch everytime. Why? Because they still have to quote another thing from way back —- they still have “The Eye Of The Tiger“! [...]
