The guy who wrote this story should go back and reread it. He comes off as a jerk who will self-admittedly manipulate (in a bad way) in an effort to get what he wants. Seems exactly like the type of guy I'd hate to work with. And on content, it's stuff like this that shows where he's at: "A guy I worked with Joe Marini, tweeted about Nokia phone he was excited to hold in his hands. I like Joe, he was a nice guy and I have a lot of time for him and to see him get fired over a bullshit tweet about Windows Phone 7 and Nokia? They should be firing Brandon Watson down, for failing to market the stupid phone not firing the guy who spent most of his days highlighting the positives associated with the product?" Joe Marini did an ill-advised tweet about Microsoft's most important partner. I'm sure Joe is a great guy, but if you ever want to stop leaks, this is what you have to do. I get the feeling that he likes Joe and would keep him. When you're running the show you have to fire people you like. And fire Brandon Watson? Last I saw he was not head of consumer marketing, he was head of developer marketing. And while Windows Phone hasn't caught on at retail, it's doing a really good job with developers. Again, it sounds like he has a personal beef with Brandon and would fire him based on that. The marketing problem with WP isn't developer facing, it's consumer facing.
