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 [...]
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

Glimmer on “the knowledge chamber”

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. Be sure to check out Glimmer [...]
Nice things from zdnet
I thought this write up about the online experience for MIX09 was particularly flattering.

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 [...]
