quick note on third places

Scott Hanselman, a recent Microsoft hire, poses a question to software developers about identifying their third places.  I don't know Scott, but I love the fact we have more folks joining MS who are familiar with the notion of third places and the like.  This concept, along with many others, is something that I've been thinking a lot about as I look closely at the overall experience for folks on MSDN and TechNet.  I think the more community we types here, the better.  While Seth Godin believes that community is the job of the future, like Nancy said, it's the job of the present .  Nice to have another community person in the mix.  Welcome to Microsoft, Scott.  Let's go and change the world now :-)
