John,

I am organizing a one day conference in San Francisco called the Social Gaming Summit and I wanted to invite you and the Popfly team to join us for the day if you can - I think what you're doing is very cool and you'll have an opportunity to spend the day with likeminded folks.

Game is big but audio is bigger. Unfortunately Microsoft seems to be totally ignoring the audio market and force developers with interest in it to use legacy technology.

Here's what you can do with Flash:

Doing something like that in .NET/Silverlight could be very challenging even for Microsoft own .NET experts due to the lack of suitable API's (without pinvoke) and unpredictable nature of garbage collections.

@Charles

The timing for me personally isn't great, but let me talk with some folks here.
