Channel 8 MIX Interviews
Last week at Mix 08 I got to meet Nikita Polyakov, a student from the University South Florida. He was running around doing candid interviews for Channel 8, Microsoft's new site to reach out to students with technology. I noticed he posted a couple of short interviews with my friends Jim Duffy and Rob Zelt before the keynote. Something you should note, I was sitting at the table during the interviews!!! You can catch a brief glimpse of me chatting with Rod Paddock as Nikita moves between Jim and Rob.
I think Channel 8 is a great thing for Microsoft to do. Meeting Nikita last week got me thinking about all the students here in the Triangle. We have about 75-100k students around here and one of the best Engineering universities in the world, mine and Brad Abrams alma matter North Carolina State. I am trying to think how to reach out to those up and coming developers, so if you have any ideas pass them along!
