He's a former PM at Microsoft, but it's still not relevany. Even if say, Adam D'Angelo posted something related to facebook or a former Apple employee posted something about the new 10.9 update increasing macbook battery life, it's not considered "shilling".

The fact that real names are involved and affiliations or history are obvious make it even less likely to be shilling.
