Some new Press for MIX Online and The work we do
Two new items came across the wire today, which I thought was pretty cool. First, "Sarah In Tampa" picked up on the new update to The Archivist, which Karsten implemented in the middle of one of our MIX Online meetings. I think it’s pretty cool. As Sarah states, this new update:
Fixes a couple of bugs [...]
Flotzam in the top-50 again
As my boss, @TommyLee Tweeted, “Three 15-year-olds think Flotzam is cool.” They put it as number 10 in their “50+ Really Cool Twitter Mashups” list.
Glimmer in the Wild
Recently we on the MIX Online team here at Microsoft released Glimmer, a tool for adding jQuery animations to your website. Fabian Anderwald, a web-designer, recently contacted us, letting us know about two sites he recently designed for customers. He used Glimmer to produce a simple image-sequence and dropdown on these two sites. Fabian [...]

Betsy Weber just published a nice blog-post regarding Flotzam, the WPF application Karsten Januszewski and I (with some great help from Hans Hugli) developed and have been running at the MIX and PDC conferences for the last 3 years. Check it out!
Glimmer on “the knowledge chamber”
I did an interview with Robert Hess for his webcast, “The Knowledge Chamber,” regarding the new software the MIX Online team has rolled out, Glimmer. Robert’s a great host and I fee fortunate that he was able to give me a little time to discuss this great new tool.

Nice things from zdnet
I thought this write up about the online experience for MIX09 was particularly flattering.
Microsoft are doing a terrific job of demonstrating how to run a conference with their Mix09 conference …

MIX Online on istartedsomething.com
Big thanks to Long Zheng for the great write-up on the MIX Online re-launch. He brings up a great point about the site:
In fact what’s pretty amazing is that the “MIX Online” site is validated 100% XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant. That’s something worth noting for a Microsoft site.
My fellow Designer/UXE, Nishant Kothary, really drove [...]
<3 your "8-bit love format"
Thanks to Sean at Idea Kitchen for the great write up on MIX Online and the MIX09 Conference site.
I really like the new format, with labs being the playground for code. And from the look of it it looks like they will be updated with fresh content. They’ve started off with Oomph, a lab [...]
