Unbelievable...
Reading some updates on mobile news, and came across this comment in one of the articles posted. Quite honestly, I’ve NEVER come across anyone so broken up about not being an MVP. I know a LOT of MVP’s on several of Microsoft’s products, and have never met one like this one describes.
“This week in Seattle area, USA, another yearly MVP summit takes place. MVP is an award being awarded mostly to "polite" (in the sense: uncritically Microsoft friendly), subdued people from community of fans of Microsoft products. MVP selection criteria process is also still vague and secretive, and based mostly on nepotism (at least in area of Windows Mobile). However most annoying thing is that during this MVP summit many Microsoft managers are giving a pep talk about "Microsoft being innovative" while reality (at least in area of Windows Mobile) is drastically different.”
This “article” concludes with the following conclusion:
“Conclusion: while many Windows Mobile MVPs do not deserve getting this title at all, the most important issue however is that Microsoft is not listening to what community says as facts prove it. So this year's MVP summit, at least in Windows Mobile area, is once again just an exercise in delusions about innovations.”
I think this website just came off my list of sites to check. You can read it for yourself here, and post your own comments if you’d like.
