Reposted from http: www.krazydad.com blog The last few weeks, I 8217;ve been working on a very cool application for Facebook, called Yahoo! Music Videos. If you 8217;re on Facebook, you can check out the public beta now. If you 8217;re not already on Facebook, check out Facebook! It 8217;s kind of like MySpace, but not as ugly. Our app is a mashup …
After six years of working to create a great library of MSDN Webcasts and founding the Microsoft Webcasts team, I m moving onto another role. I ve really enjoyed working on the MSDN Webcasts program and providing some great webcasts for you guys. After spending a year in Afghanistan, I found myself needing more changes to my career, so I decided it was best to move on and try some new things before I get burned out on Microsoft. nbsp; I wish I would have been able to fix search and registration WWE for you guys, before I left. nbsp;That was the weight on my back for the last few years. I hope the folks that nbsp;take over my role will have better luck dealing with ms.com platforms nbsp;and nbsp;user experience with these issues. There were some things that we tried to do to improve the program. We tried to do some cool things like the ASP.NET Webcasts Series back in 2004 with a shopping cart approach. The pilot worked well, and we hoped to provide this into our regular registration process. It was not to be. We tried some other things and it did go well. Just as the webcast mini series which provided free class room in instructions to those who wanted to learn more about a particular technology. We also tried the theme week, blogging, RSS feeds for the webcasts, and who can forget Source Fource to help you guys have a little fun with MSDN Webcasts. While the search is on for the new George, Scott Lum and Katheryn Baker of Exsilio Consulting fame will be managing MSDN Webcasts and Virtual Labs for you guys going forward. If you want to check in on what I m going to be doing, you can find me on my new blog here at http: blogs.msdn.com mcp. Thanks again for watching our MSDN Webcasts, and I hope for the folks who hold certifications, that you guy will check out my blog and get a chance to glimpse on some of the cool new things coming out of Microsoft Learning and the Microsoft Certified Professional MCP programs. Regards, George, MSDN Webcasts nbsp;
Hi again, just recently returned from MS TechEd in Orlando, oh it was HOT! It was great to get a chance to meet some customers and partners face to face and discuss what s happening at a more granular level today in the enterprise. nbsp; The issues they face are of course at the heart of what we re providing solutions for and allows us to reprioritize where needed to make sure we re addressing things daily as that s how fast we see things happening at the moment, as I know others do as well. Oh the day of the boot sector infector are long behind us and the pace at which we all must move now is at lightning speed, ya gotta love it! Some of the important questions and issues we discussed included things like Rootkit technology, naming conventions and the overall breadth of the problem today around spyware and what next generation of threats would we see. In addition, there were many concerns about the never ending Bot problem and of course how the Microsoft Malware Protection Center will continue to grow to support customers globally. My commitment to them was to return in some way shape or form and update them on our progress in these areas through this blog and next year at TechED The customers that attended the presentation seemed a bit overwhelmed by the data we put together in our last Security Intelligence Report. When I returned back to Redmond, one of the first things I did was go to the TechNet recording studios and record a Security Intelligence Report webcast. nbsp; If you don t have the time to read the full report http: www.microsoft.com downloads details.aspx?FamilyId AF816E28 533F 4970 9A49 E35DC3F26CFE amp;displaylang en this webcast is an easy way to hear about all the findings in the report and come up to speed on the malware trends we have been observing. Check it out! nbsp; http: msevents.microsoft.com CUI EventDetail.aspx?EventID 1032340085 amp;Culture en US There is more to come stay tuned. Vinny Gullotto
