Microsoft tries #DroidRage thing again -- doesn't take
Microsoft is going after Android on Twitter. But be careful what you wish for.
Call it a Microsoft holiday tradition. The annual #DroidRage Twitter campaign is back.
The general idea of #DroidRage is to "share your Android malware horror story."
And while there are some tweets supporting Microsoft, they aren't easy to find -- despite this tweet by Microsoft: "Yikes! Hundreds of #DroidRage stories already since our tweet last night."
Instead, the tweets are trending toward flaming Windows.
Here's how adamwiniecki put it: "marketing guru who came up with #droidrage actually secretly works for Google."
He's right. There is precious little about Android malware stories.
And it's a problematic exercise for Microsoft to try to elicit malware horror stories about a rival considering Windows' history.
Maybe this won't be a tradition after all.
