So far, corporate has yet to weigh in on its growing cadre of bloggers. But that may be about to change.

Despite the fact that more and more Microsoft employees have jumped on the blogging bandwagon, Microsoft has not announced any kind of corporate blogging policy...at least so far.

But it seems as if Microsoft corporate is beginning to take more of an active interest in how its employees are expressing their opinions in their Web logs.

On Tuesday, as part of its ongoing series of discussions about Microsoft and community, the company is holding an internal panel to discuss employee Weblogging.

The meeting was called by Catherine Feldhausen, a member of the Microsoft U.S. corporate communications team. Several Microsoft bloggers are on the docket to present, including Shawn Alexander, Tim Ewald, Beth Goza, Andy Oakley, Robert Scoble, Sara Williams and Sue Ventura, a senior paralegal with the company.

Clawing his way in

Using Wolverine's razor-sharp claws to hack and slash through enemies consumes much of the game play, but strategy and stealth are also required to infiltrate high-security locations.

The title is divided into six "acts," each of which includes three or four levels of game play. Visually, the game is played from a cinematic "over the shoulder" third-person perspective. Wolverine travels to different parts of the world to fight enemies, solve puzzles, and collect key power-ups and other items.

Those are some interesting bloggers mentioned.

Sara Williams although modest about what she does at MSDN in her blog, is actually the CEO so to speak of MSDN. She's the leader of MSDN and a big key player in the company.

Shawn Alexander heads up the Microsoft Plus! and is the driving force behind Microsoft's Power Toys and Fun Packs for Windows XP.

Tim Ewald is behind XML Web services, and responsible for the re-architecting of MSDN.

Andy Oakley is a program Manager for the GotDotNet initiative.

Beth Goza is part of Microsoft Mobile Devices.

Robert Scoble is a technical evangelist, and part of the team that's responsible for building Windows. *cough* Longhorn. One interesting point is during an interview at microsoft he was asked "how can we get Google to move its servers from Linux to Windows?" His answer..."acquire them."

Heh.

Microsoft watch actually keeps an entire listing of all the key bloggers at Microsoft. http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,4248,933657,00.asp

So Shawn Alexander is to blame for the Microsoft Plus!? The most worthless program ever.
