  1. Re:Five of us in Redmond... on Microsoft Launches 'Channel 9' Blog · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's just what NNTP is for. Video blogging. Gotcha. Go home. All blogs, all of /. and most websites could also be disseminated via NNTP. Hell, they could be distributed by carrier pigeon. That'd be fun. "You've got mail, *squawk*"

  2. Firefox Works Fine on Microsoft Launches 'Channel 9' Blog · · Score: 1

    Firefox works just fine. Sure, some minor bugs (font size on the left, and videos autoplay), but the devs are working on it. This is day 1 of the site (well, 2 now). I love the "it's not hard to make HTML, there is no coding involved" statement. Classic.

  3. Re:Technical evangelist ? on Microsoft Launches 'Channel 9' Blog · · Score: 1

    What a TE does: 1. "Evangelize" what the world wants to developers. World wants standards in browsers? You can bet the TE's know this (I know many of them, they do). You can bet they're telling the teams (they are). You can bet the teams are listening (they are). The IE Dev Lead actually blogs, you might want to read it. 2. Communicate with the world. This is what Channel9 is. The realization that current communication is too canned. They're trying to be honest here by just having sit-downs with folk. You dont' have to like it, but it's 100 times better than anything MS has done before. 3. Communicate with partners and ISV's. Very little of this has anything to do with religion, 'trying to convince people', etc.

    You guys do realise that many, many Tech companies use the term Evangelist, right? Even MySQL AB has an Evangelist on staff. It was started by Apple back in the 80s.
