Have a gripe about Office? A couple of guys at Microsoft want to hear it directly. “Make Office Better” is an unofficial project launched by an Office product planner and a Windows software tester at Microsoft. Individuals submit ideas and weigh in on whether they like the ideas submitted by others. Topics that resonate most with the crowd should get the most “me, too” votes and rise to the top. It’s similar to the approach taken by the news aggregator site Digg.com and the IdeaStorm product-suggestion site run by PC maker Dell.
