By now you’ve probably heard about the whole fake blog uproar MSN created, when they launched MSN Found. And holy, it’s a uproar. They received the Scoble kiss of death and lots of other criticism. Now they’re trying to manage the blogstorm by talking about it on the MSN blog. Kudos to Microsoft. Some of the comments are pretty rough. And yes, having your own blogging platform but still choosing to create a fake blog with actors is pretty sad. But at least they’re trying to explain what they were thinking (or maybe the fact that they weren’t).
