Microspotting = a view into just how geeky we really are: Microspotting is a blog consisting of profiles of Microsofties. Why do I like it? It gives me hope that a weirdo like me still fits in here.

you didn't think we were done, did you?: The social bookmarking preview got a lot of attention. So did the site redesign for MSDN and TechNet.

No need to shout! Plus forums updates: An amusing video inspired by MSDN and TechNet's new focus on "kicking up the social volume" is over on YouTube (and Soapbox, embedded below). I think it tells the story of why community is critical for our sites in a just-annoying-enough-to-be-funny Read More...

What I heard at TechEd 2008: My biggest takeaway from interactions with lots of great people at TechEd was that not enough people know about what we're doing, which makes for great job security for an evangelist like me :) We have so much to do in helping you (the IT pro and developer Read More...

MSDN and TechNet search: TechEd folks say it's worth another look: UPDATE: Chris Kilbourn has posted another good case study on TechNet search. I'm hearing from the folks on the floor at TechEd that our 3.0 release of search is getting raves. I can't wait to show it off next week to IT folks. Today, co-worker Jeff Day Read More...

Stream of Developer Consciousness: I think we need to make a screensaver version of this. It's all the bookmarks that MSDN and TechNet visitors are saving using our new social bookmarking feature, floating by in a sideways-"Matrix-falling-bits-of-code" Silverlight thingy . Gratuitous? Read More...
