BusinessWeek have a very nice article about Mini-Microsoft, an employee who runs a virtual watercooler for his corporate colleagues, also anonymous. Already a blog running out the 5 things to get blogged since he's using blogger service. By visiting his blog I saw posts with hundreds of comments, latest one on September 15 have just 113 comments, just a waw !

The proprietor of the Web log called Mini-Microsoft may be the most notorious blogger on corporate life. For more than a year, Mini has been a thorn in the side of the software giant, posting a stream of anonymous critiques of the company, Mini's employer. Mini pulls no punches, calling Microsoft a "passionless, process-ridden, lumbering idiot," in a Sept. 4 posting. Yet the blog is also chock full of humor, intelligence, and earnest suggestions for fixing Microsoft.

While Mini-Microsoft (http://minimsft.blogspot.com) is just one among an estimated 2,000 blogs operating by Microsoft staffers, it has become a virtual watercooler for employees. Hundreds anonymously vent their frustrations there without fear of retribution. Mini has emerged as something of a folk hero. Visitors to the site and other bloggers describe Mini as the employee most likely to save Microsoft -- and the most likely to be fired.
