Build your own Photo Zoom demo...

Oooooh! I've found a demo that the IT pro's will love, and the developers will have a great time creating more images. I'm at our team offsite. It's a great opportunity to find out what other parts of the Evangelism team is doing, find out our challenges

Live Mesh - the next web...

I'm really delighted that we've announced the technology preview of Live Mesh (see the article in the NY times ) after hinting about it at MIX the other week. It allows all your devices to work together - wherever you are - even on the web - you can add

Real time avatars: virtual hand gestures

I vividly remember the first time I flew out to Seattle for our internal technical conference - Envision in 2002. I'd only been at Microsoft 3 months and I was overwhelmed with the flood of technology, and feeling like a total imposter. The closing keynote

Exchanging contact data between social networking sites

Now this is a really interesting concept - and one that's going to make exchanging social networking contact data a lot more easy. John Richards has blogged about an agreement that we've put in place with Facebook , Bebo , Hi5 , Tagged and LinkedIn so

So you couldn't get to the Windows Server 2008 launch in Birmingham?

Wow, what a launch. The day felt like a mini TechEd with a buzz I haven't noticed for ages at an event. I hardly sat down all day, didn't get a chance to see James' session on Powershell , Steve's Security talk, or Andrew talk about SQL Server. I spent

Semantic Web: a seamless web of data in your life

I've been interested in the Semantic web concept for quite a while now as I get frustrated with search engines (all of them) sometimes when I'm looking for something random or loosely coupled information where I can't quite get the exact search string

Xobni for Outlook

I've been having a look at Xobni since Viral told us about it a few weeks ago and I'm impressed. I hadn't really thought about it as a social networking tool through email until I saw Bill talking about it. The thing I like best is the Stay in Touch feature:

Bill Gates and the future of Technology

Well TechReady is over and I'm on my way to Banff for some skiing in Lake Louise and Sunshine mountain for a few days. I'm reflecting on the Bill Gates keynote at TechReady and I feel very sad that this is probably the last time I'm going to see him present

Photo sharing from the beginning

I'm on the way to Heathrow today to catch the nerd bird (as British Airways staff call it) to Seattle this afternoon. So my day will be spent people watching and wondering what they're doing - where they're going etc. And it's a good time to reflect on

Blogging for web 3.0

I'm in Leicester today on the 2nd part of my blogging for business tour. I was fascinated by the questions from the small business community about blogging - questions that major corporates wouldn't think of. The long tail aspect of how blogging (great

Machinima in the mainstream

One of my graduates last year, Steve , spent some time on machinima projects and put some of his videos onto YouTube. Here's one about staying patched... Well it's nice to see other teams following the lead of the IT pro team :-). The visual studio team

BETT day 2: Popfly rules

So what's a mashup then? It's a question that most techies would be able to answer, but ask the same question to a bunch of teachers and you get a few puzzled looks. However, Matthew came up with a storming explanation during his session today on the

Social Bookmarks for Live Writer

I've been meaning to install this plugin to Live Writer for a while since Frank emailed the bloggers at Microsoft to tell them how to add social bookmarks. I'd been messing around with HTML, getting Technorati tags included for a while (till the automated

Free your buddy

I like this new viral thingy that someone in the MSN team has released. it's called Free your buddy . There's a video up on YouTube too showing how badly he dances. My only gripe is the site seems to use Flash, not (fabulous) Silverlight - although I
