Microsoft&#8217;s marketers will never&nbsp;learn]]></title><type><![CDATA[link]]></type><html><![CDATA[<p>I was telling someone just today that I will never sign up for another email newsletter. Ever.</p>
<p>Michael Martine reminded me of that when he wrote <a href="http://www.michaelmartine.com/2006/07/21/my-lovehate-relationship-with-microsoft/">a blog post &#8220;my love/hate relationship with Microsoft.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>In that post he even gives Microsoft a couple of kudos &#8220;maybe they learned something from Scoble afterall.&#8221;</p>
<p>No, sorry, Michael, it looks like <a href="http://scoble.weblogs.com/2005/02/19.html">telling Microsoft&#8217;s marketers that they should be fired for not having RSS feeds</a> didn&#8217;t take.</p>
<p><a href="http://comingzune.com/">Getting people to subscribe to</a> an email newsletter is sssooo 1990s.</p>
<p>If that&#8217;s the kind of marketing we should expect for Zune then <a href="http://www.apple.com/rss/">Apple has nothing to worry about</a>.</p>
<p>But, Michael is right. At least <a href="http://www.zuneinsider.com/">the Zune team has a blogger</a> among its ranks. I&#8217;ve subscribed to his blog. It has an RSS feed.</p>
