I have to say, I LOVE these commercials… These Rudolph Claymation stories were something I always looked forward to as a kid… heck, I even watch them now. Im not looking for any Bing Comments… I just love these.

Windows Phone 7 Feature Requests
Image via Wikipedia
Being a developer evangelist who is focused on Windows Phone, I get asked all the time about features that users want added to WP7. I completely understand when someone comes up to me and says : “ WP7 would be great if it had “Such and Such” feature. What I don’t think many people understand is that, what is needed for one person, is not necessarily at the top of the list for others.
Do you want to find out what people think we need to add to WP7? Do you want to post or share your own idea?
Then head on over to the feature feedback page on uservoice for WP7 (http://bit.ly/oeQnC9). Read what others are posting OR post your own and find out if other people share your idea.

Twitter over capacity AGAIN Fail Whale not funny.
As much as the world (cough cough) relies on Twitter, you would think they would be able to get their act together. I for one am really tired of seeing this.
You would think that after years of refactoring http://www.infoq.com/news/2009/06/Twitter-Architecture …they would get something stable.
The Fail Whale may have been cute at one point (The first month maybe). But this is ridiculous.
I’m just saying….. what do you say?

Microsoft to Acquire Skype
Today, Microsoft announced that it would acquire Skype. I think this is a fantastic acquisition. Skype has 107 million users each month who are connected for more than 100 minutes on average. Combining Skype with XBox, Kinect, WP7, etc… adds to, and enhances both sides of the equation. This is going to be a great year. I am looking forward to these opportunities.
Check out the Press conference here. (You will need to move it ahead to 49:00… which is where it starts)
