“We monitor in excess of 1,500 discussion threads a day on very specific topics where we think
we can add value to the conversation. It’s not possible to participate in all of the threads, but there are
ways to identify which conversations are the most influential, which ones have the greatest reach,
and those are the one in which we’re most likely toparticipate. We've also created a consumer
advocate community as well as a platform that we’ll be launching in a few weeks to support their
activities.”Marty Collins, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Windows Live, Microsoft
