- suyash 6y agoMicrosoft screwed up their reputation with this move big time.
- PhantomGremlin 6y agoMicrosoft stock price is, literally, within $1 of its all time high. The stock market doesn't seem at all concerned about Microsoft's "reputation".
- jhayward 6y agoIn many, if not most, cases, the stock price of a company is a lagging indicator.
- NobodyNada 6y agoThe original title is much more informative (though probably over the character limit): > Microsoft revokes MVP status of developer who tweeted complaint about request to promote SQL-on-Azure > Programme members were asked to make noise ahead of Amazon Web Services conference
- dang 6y agoI've tried to squeeze it in above. It required an abbrev (which we try to avoid).
- renewiltord 6y agoWait, this is something that would have been cool to have had on those startup lists: do this and become an MVP and you get $13k free Azure credits. I don't even like Azure and that would have been $1k free spend per month.
- rickspencer3 6y ago"Nothing of value was lost." What a boss. This is what often happens when you have community management report into marketing instead of engineering. A good MVP program is about having a tight feedback loop with engineering, and the ROI is about identifying and fixing customer issues. There is room for community programs that roll up to marketing when they are explicitly at the outset about spreading the word about something that the community members love. But turning MVPs into shills was doomed.
