where is Kristen Lauria's blog?

Category lazyweb
Can someone send me a link to Kristen Lauria's blog? It's not listed on PlanetLotus, and a Google search didn't turn up anything useful either. I was hoping I could find more information about the air cover she had mentioned at Lotusphere this year, since I haven't noticed a significant change from last year. I figured that, since it's already July, by now she might have blogged about the new ways that IBM is getting the word out about Lotus products... anyone know the URL?

2 - @3 - That was famous? I must be funnier than I thought.

3 - Would never expect a marketing person to blog, they don't like the limelight.

4 - If you look hard enough I'm sure you will find it.

5 - @Ed, I agree... I shouldn't have encouraged the author by linking to it, and have since removed the link.

In my opinion, you've always responded elegantly to both praise and criticism - even when some of that criticism has been tasteless. The impression I gained of Kristen at Lotusphere was that she would approach community interaction with a similar amount of class, and have been anxiously awaiting that form of community engagement ever since. I apologize if my post implied that I think she (or anyone else) is an acceptable target for verbal abuse.

6 - Dangerous asking that question. Nathan famously stated that he liked his bridges 'unburnt' (when commenting on what I was doing)

7 - @Charles, nope, he's in LocalDomainAdmins, so he could have if he wanted to, but these were not his words. Or his idea. I was curious about something and chose to express it.

8 - HAHA!

9 - Um, that fake blog is in incredibly poor taste and whoever put it up would do well to pull the plug asap. Frustration is understandable but that is not a helpful way to convey it.

10 - Don't be silly! It's out there with Surjit Chana's blog.

Um...

11 - The Fake-Kristen thing *could* have been funny. But. It. Wasn't. It just fails in so many ways, taste being only one.

Whoever wrote it should be embarrassed.

12 - @Bill, what bridge have I burnt? If Kristen's job title makes the absence of a blog ironic, then my entire post was rhetorical. Otherwise it's just some guy looking for a URL. In either case, I wrote a couple sentences posing a question, not a multi-page diatribe blasting an entire corporation and coining a new epithet for the community I've been involved with for over a decade.

Oh....... I get it now: if I single out a particular individual to question, I'm an "attack kitten"; if I negatively paint with a broad brush hundreds of thousands of people, I'm simply one of the "cool kids"... although I have a suspicion my college history professor would disagree.

13 - So that fake blog that is being referred to here actually makes a point I was going to write here last night and initially thought better of it. What upside is there for the Lotus brand VP of marketing to hang themselves out in public to be attacked on a blog? I have talked with Kristen about guest blogging on edbrill.com, and believe we'll do that soon, but on an ongoing basis? There's a difference between thick skin and punching bag.
