Looking beyond the masses...

Ariel Meadow Stallings wrote the book "Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides". Can potentially inspire people to have a less narrow mindset about the perfect wedding... :-)

Now she is working for Microsoft and writes the blog Microspotting (Like the paparazzi but for geeks) She hunts down smart, interesting and geeky people, and this apparently supports changing peoples views about the typical "Microsoft" person. The atypical people will make the company appear more interesting for talents that previously might not have felt like a typical "Microsoft" person. It also shows that the company has a perspective that goes beyond work...
Smart.
