Mini-Microsoft is a blog that was maintained by an anonymous author who appeared to be a Microsoft employee. The site credited its sole author as "Who da'Punk", but many readers referred to him as "Mini" or "Mini-Microsoft". The nominal goal of the blog was to shrink Microsoft down to a smaller, more efficient company, but the blog also served as a forum where Microsoft employees and others engaged in discussion about the company and about its corporate culture. It was last updated in 2014. Mini-Microsoft began on July 6, 2004 with a post entitled "Blast off for Mini-Microsoft". Throughout 2005, the site began to gather attention. The blog’s author was interviewed for an article in the September 26, 2005 issue of Business Week, part of a cover package about trouble at Microsoft. In April 2006, Robert Scoble, who was then a Microsoft employee, wrote on his personal blog that Mini-Microsoft was "doing a lot of good for the company" and that Scoble would "quit on the spot" if the anonymous author were fired. After a May 27, 2006 article by Danny Westneat in The Seattle Times, in which the blog's author admitted that his secret identity was wearing on him, he announced on his blog that he was taking a break and switched to posting very terse posts with links to other sites. He returned to his previous article format a few months later. The author announced another hiatus in February 2009, saying that he was considering leaving the company; in response, the local TechFlash blog suggested, "He should just reveal his identity, and see what happens."
