Non-Technical MSDN Blogs

Thursday, March 11 2004

One of the first set of blogs I read each day is the MSDN Blogs. I go there to get technical info from Microsoft people working on the actual products. But every now and then you see people posting personal stuff, like travel plans and thoughts about sports. That’s all well and good, but I’m assuming the readers of MSDN Blogs go there for the same reason I do: to get all the techie goodness. To me, the non-technical posts just get in the way of things I’m really interested in. And what would be really nice is if MSDN Blogs as a whole was categorized (in addition to the categories for each blogger). I think this would be a huge help for readers going there for something very specific, such as CLR internals or updates on Indigo. Although I suspect the global categorization is a lack of functionality of .Text, which now that I think about it is being worked on.

Its true to a large extent that people do mix up personal blogging on their technical blogs. Surprisingly some of these are listed on top sites like microsoft. Any way hope to see people blogging specific to the theme of thier blog.
