Snooping Microsoft Zune marketing exec perhaps?
It's funny sometimes what your visitor stats can reveal. A glance at mine this morning shows an early morning hit from a Microsoft Ireland employee reading my "Zune is Rubbish" related post.
I wonder if it's someone involved with European marketing of the Zune trying to gauge opinion / market perception of the unit from the blogosphere. I wonder if they're thinking about a different approach to it's marketing in Europe, particularly in Ireland where the iPod is so huge. Let's hope they get rid of those ridiculous "Join the social" ads. The Zune tag line just had to include the word "social" since the whole direction of the web changed with the social networking explosion of 2006 didn't it! Someone at Redmond thought so anyways.
Perhaps even more curious is the unknown Windows version registered for the same hit. Is BlogPatrol not registering hits from machines running Vista? Has Microsoft already (probably long since) rolled out Vista internally?
If you know, please leave a comment and let me know !
