View<myworld>: a glimpse inside life at Microsoft
Recently, my face showed up on a poster tacked up all around Microsoft’s Redmond campus for Breast Cancer Month. My coworkers expressed surprise that real employees are being used for marketing and promotional materials. The same day the poster started popping up, I was introduced to another very real view of Microsoft — viewmyworld.com.
Get ready to spend some time digging into View<myWorld>. There's a lot there, including video content, employee profiles, and feeds from a few of the latest Microsoft employee blogs. This is a great place
to visit if you want to get to know Microsofties on a more real, personal level. There are candid interviews from real employees explaining why they have chosen to work here. These are real conversations with Microsoft technical employees.
I have been spending the last few days reading, watching, laughing and enjoying. Hear our stories and View<myWorld> for yourself: http://www.viewmyworld.com/

Now here I go responding about somehow connecting with real humans at Microsoft and somebody has just GONE and DONE that... :)

Oh you know what would be COOL? Somehow linking the CAREERS site with this. I'm thinking you go to "look at a job description" ana something going into the "Viewmyworld" with a real human talking about the job. Or maybe rewriting careeirs into this style.
Is that all done with the new Silverlight?

Ok, now I was up this morning with the birds again and had a chance to just sit down and view this! I thought the bit about the perks was hilarious!
I'm just picturing somebody actually drinking EVERY beverage at Redmond! I've never seen "the list" but I've heard rumors.
At what point did he get his onsite doctor to check his bladder? At no point did our friend claiim a need for the facilities after drinking ALL THOSE DRINKS! Good grief!
The blogs listing is a nice tight view of the blogs, but that's barely the surface! This is just the main ones. Load up an RSS reader and pull down the main OPML list from blogs.msdn.com and blogs.technet.com. Good Lord there's a lot of people working there with a lot to say!
