Norbert, Deeps, Ben (my manager), Monique, Scott, Finula and Nick.

My parting shot from my team in Microsoft Australia DPE taken on last day at work (Fri, 25/5). What a great bunch of people to work and learn with. Instead of going into extended farewell rhetoric, I just want to say I love my group.

Thank you for the support, mentoring, and good times. Thank you for the watch, farewell message book (and even blog post), dinner and drinks. Nick, you’re a champ for organising all these esp the above photo. I totally dig the watch too.

Google is Acquiring Feedburner?

There are unconfirmed reports that Google is acquiring Feedburner. This move looks like a logical move as Google is slowly but surely amassing a stable of Internet tools and services such as DoubleClick, Tonic and YouTube. These properties have upfront monetising propositions which are compatible with Google’s overall business strategy.
