This guy is such a party loyalist. Microsoft only owns a sliver of Facebook, but DD takes their side as predictably as if they were part of MS.

  I'd actually say the man is more pro-startup than pro-MSFT (he was an early employee at Napster, Groove, and others). I think he honestly believes Facebook has built a great product and a great community which open social won't dislodge. I tend to agree.

    I've been reading his blog for a very long time (more than 18 months) and I've NEVER seen him not kowtow the official MS line. Try to find one post in his archives that does not parrot official MS line.

      I guess you didn't read this one where I rip a Microsoft lawyer for dumping on Google? http://dondodge.typepad.com/the_next_big_thing/2007/03/microsoft_lawye.html http://dondodge.typepad.com/the_next_big_thing/2007/03/micro... I have been in the software business for 25 years and been on the management teams of 5 startups. I have been at Microsoft less than 3 years and haven't drank the Kool-Aid. However, I don't buy the Microsoft is evil argument either. I rarely write about Microsoft. In fact I write about Google and lots of startups about 80% of the time. That said, if you want to disagree with my point of view anytime...that is fine. It is a free country. Don

        Hey Don, One out of 300 ain't something to be proud of!
