DO IT. i like socialmedian and would like to see that interview! - idnan
@scobleizer would love to. we're working on some significant new features to push as soon as next Friday which will help folks very easily get relevant content pushed to socialmedian w/o any work. you can prob guess a bit what that means. So, let's do it after that. How about at TC50? - Jason Goldberg
Also, i'd say transparently that the Demo folks (or at least the firm rep'ing them) were more aggressive about trying to get companies to come than tc50, but who wants to pay that sort of $$$ !!! My advisers all unanimously said not worth the money to pay to go to Demo if you already have VC connections..only worthwhile for folks who need to use it to get discovered. - Jason Goldberg
oh, and ... would love folks' feedback on some stuff work working on to help track conference news and tweets in real-time for folks who can't attend. See here FF post re: Gnomedex http://friendfeed.com/e/04d8c3... - Jason Goldberg

Wow. Thanks for the invitation, Jason. @Scobleizer I'll be in the Demo Pit on Monday and would love to give you a demo then or any other time. Jason, what day will you be in the Pit? Would love to meet you and share some thoughts on social news stuff. - JonathanJoseph
One thing I really love about all the methods of Social Computing is how you get so much information from such a variety of source. This morning when I logged on at 6am I saw a Facebook status message come up from Nick Swan. In it he mentioned a screencast he had done about a new tool from Lightening Tools called BDC AlertManager. It looks very cool, and useful! Now you can have events in the BDC, like falling stock quantity etc., trigger alerts with custom messages containing dynamic data. This is one you really need to check out for yourself. - Michael Gannotti
My buddy Adam Morgan shot me this link last night. Out on Codeplex there is a wealth of search add-on's for Microsoft search technologies (SharePoint/FAST). While I am cross posting their existing list of samples and tools this is a growing list so you really need to head over there yourself - Michael Gannotti
.. That's the videos on the NBC site, not Scobles.. - simonpure
That's a pretty poor reason not to check it out. Unless you're on Linux, that is. - Jordan Hofker
totally lame that you cannot see it outside america - gregory lent
Interesting that the choice of technology was between Windows Media Player and Silverlight. Seems like Flash wasn't even a consideration. - Paul Grav
I'm not sure if you are aware but MSNBC = "Microsoft/NBC" (that's officially the name) so I'm pretty sure Adobe's Flash was never on the table. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... - Andrew Leyden
I'm well aware of the MS, NBC relationship. MS's own sites make extensive use of flash. Just take a look at the mojave experiment website. So MS obviously don't have any flash embargo, and also have the technical skills to implement flash based sites. - Paul Grav
I doubt it is a technical issue at all. I would suspect there is some commercial tie up that limits NBC to using MS products (but I will confess I haven't dug through all of NBC's online sites to see). UPDATE: Well, I guess they do use Flash in someplaces. http://www.nbc.com/Life/video/... but I still suspect the Silverlight decision was commercially driven. - Andrew Leyden
On the subject of noticable differences in SharePoint 20007 based on the backend system, this is something that could be hard to catch. It's intersting because I haven't seen a lot of other noticeable differences. - Thomas Resing
