Well, I wonder about this: Tom Foremski passes on a tidbit from Waggner Edstrom, the PR firm that works with Microsft (and has for quite awhile):

Paul Abrahams works very closely with Microsoft and is in Seattle on a regular basis, advising the software giant on many strategic aspects of its operations. I haven't heard from Paul in a while, so it was a delightful surprise when he called me just an hour ago.

What he wanted to tell me was that he had written a column for the UK PR Week trade publication on blogging. "I've mentioned you in it," he said. "But I've basically said, regarding all this stuff about blogs, I just don't get it..."

Either Waggoner is trying to be cute, or there's some delicious irony there, given how open Microsoft has been with blogging.
