From Satha, thoughts on ERP, CRM, BI & ….

My fellow readers and bloggers, everyone one of us in the field of technology has at some stage benefited from Mary Jo’s blog “An Unblinking Eye On Microsoft”.

I personally have found Mary Jo’s blogs very topical, well researched and objective.

Mary Joe is one of the featured “bloggers” in the book Blogging Heroes by Michael Banks. The book contains interviews with 30 of the world’s top bloggers.  

Here are my key takeaways, from the interview with Mary Jo, an experienced professional who continues to enjoy the challenge of writing about a technology giant that is never shy of controversy…”

§         blogging is the future of journalism (blogging allows writers to bring more honesty to the issues/things they write about)

§         confirm every tip before running with it…(Mary Jo confirms every tip three ways before running with it)

§         be yourself and don’t try to imitate someone else’s style or voice

§         take time away from blogging, so you don’t limit your perspective

§         don’t try to hide your identity (unless you have a good reason)

§         if you make a mistake, admit it, accept it and move on

Last but not least I urge you to keep an eye out for Mary Jo’s own book, Microsoft 2.0: How Microsoft Plans to Stay Relevant in the Post-Gates Era (author Mary Joe Foley)
