Two weeks in the field...
I'm spending the next two weeks meeting with Microsoft subsidiaries. I, of course, am interested in community. How do these teams view community? How do they see their conversations, online in particular, evolving over the next months and years? What is likely to work where, and when? Who are my most likely partners?
First stop is the MSCom summit in Barcelona. I couldn't have wished for a better start. There are around 60 MSCom (Microsoft.com) web professionals in one place.
I speak tomorrow. It should be interesting. I'm learning that my views are somewhat uni-dimensional. Specifically, I tend to see the online world as a conversation only, while these folks do a lot of publishing -- or broadcast communications. I have only one hour. I wish, oh how I wish, I had three or four.
I'll be trying for some interviews.
