Channel 9 - Microsoft's blog community
Post @ 22:39 in Blogging
Channel 9 was created by a group of engineers and "technology evangelists" at Microsoft that is convinced the software giant could do more to promote free discussion with outside developers. The name refers to the audio channel most airlines use to allow passengers to listen in on conversations between flight crew members. via news.com
Microsoft's developers launched Channel 9 not only include video and audio content publish, also provide Wiki, Moblog, Forum etc. Pretty impressive. The name "Channel 9" inspired from Airline communication mechanism, on the audio track in airplanes, is the chatter between the pilot, co-pilot and control tower. This project initiate form MS's engineer Jeff and Scoble, they go around Microsoft campus with a video camera and do quick hallway interviews with people who are doing interesting stuff at MS and then post those clips on Channel 9. Actually many Microsoft employees are active Bloggers, it seems Microsoft to be a pretty open company, but the practice has gotten at least one worker in trouble. Longtime contract worker Michael Hanscom was fired last year after his blog ran photos of Apple computers being delivered to Microsoft's main campus. Anyway, the "Channel 9" project would be a good example for employee interactive lives in giant company. No matter how people hate Microsoft, people who have a chance work on there still attractive.

Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time. So long
as there is a regular progression of stimuli to get your mental hooks
into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this begins, its rate is
a matter of discretion.
