That's because it is. Look on the Xobni blog for a post that shows a little more love :-)

Sorry, I was actually talking about that very blog post. I should have pointed that out.

yeah, i kinda felt corporate writing it. Sorry. I wasn't very inspired by the announcement of the MSFT accelerator press release. The press release was pretty much all boiler plate and had to be approved by MSFT.

You should check out the post I wrote right before the accelerator post. It is much more my style. http://www.xobni.com/blog/2008/01/21/celebrating-user-happin...

I should add...

Our involvement in this program is about more than free copies of Visual Studio. MSFT is helping the participating companies develop credibility with large MSFT software consumers. This is particularly valuable outside of Silicon Valley.

I think Loopt is the only other YC-funded company participating in the program.

OK, cool.

Kudos for the authenticity; it's no doubt harder to keep it real as the company gets bigger and has to avoid saying controversial things.
