Office Labs is Live

sarahintampa — Fri, 09 May 2008 16:58:00 GMT

A new web site called Office Labs has just gone live. Here, you will find all sorts of projects, prototypes, proof-of-concepts, downloads, and more, all of which are centered around productivity. The site features tools for the Microsoft Office system and SharePoint, too. To get the launch started with a bang, Office Labs is already offering a bunch of cool projects you'll want to check out, including the following:

Community Clips - Community Clips is a place where you can find "how to" videos made by other users like yourself; you can also easily create your own.
Search Commands - This is quite possibly the hottest of the current Office Labs offerings, considering how strong user demand was for just this sort of tool. Search Commands is an experiment designed to see if search is an effective way for you to find commands in complex software applications. You can download the Search Commands add-in into your Microsoft Office 2007 installation and begin using it today to help you find the command you need.
InkSeine - A tool for Tablet PC users, InkSeine offers an innovative new interface for pen input
Task Market - This is an online marketplace that can help you find freelancers skilled in graphic design, writing, editing, translation, and more.
SharePointPedia - SharePointPedia is social community application that can help you find useful info about SharePoint technologies, tools, tips and tricks.

To stay up-to-date on all the latest news from Office Labs, you can follow the new Office Labs blog, available here.

XNA Game Studio - Your world, your game.

Laura — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 02:29:00 GMT

XNA Game Studio really does give you all you need. Not only do they give you the tools to make the games that you want, but they also give you the training and tutorials to give you the skills to do it. I ran across one of their many game design challenges to see exactly how it happens, who can enter- and of course, where you can find out when one is coming near you. Take a peek here at the latest event in San Francisco, and then I hope to see you at the next one!

Girls Got Game: All Games Style

Laura — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 19:41:00 GMT

It really just tickles my heart when I encounter a group of hard-core gaming girls who have taken it upon themsleves to band together for the greater good. Ok, I maye sound a TAD dramatic but honestly, it's just cool. I have been a friend and fan of All Games since before I can remember and these girls participate in the radio show and bring it some love. So, like the Frag Dolls, GamerChix and the PMS Clan...take a minute and get to know these Girls Got Game.

These are the people on your internet...

Laura — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 20:12:00 GMT

So, recently I convinced my Mother to use Live Messenger as a means of keeping in touch. She was BLOWN AWAY by this fascinating technology and even MORE excited when she learned about emoticons. These are things that I'm sure both you and I take for granted as common knowledge. I started wondering if I was the uncommon one and maybe most people aren't aware of the wonders of the internet. So I set out on a mission to find out how much the average person walking the street knows about these curious machines known as "computers". The results are incredible...

Zune 2: An intimate conversation with the Zune team.

Laura — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 19:12:00 GMT

Blogs are buzzing with the news of the upcoming Zunes we'll soon have our hands on. But some questions still remain and the information just wasn't easily found on any sites. So, Channel 10 decided to head straight to the source. In this clip I have a sit down chat with Cesar Menendez from the Zune team and ask him all those questions that my friends and family wanted answered.

XBOX shows some love to the Halo Community

Laura — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 02:04:00 GMT

The launch of Halo 3 clearly was the biggest thing in entertainment history since sliced bread. Was sliced bread entertaining? Anyway, our Xbox community team (you probably know them from the GamerScore Blog-Casts) decided to reach out into the sea of Halo fans and pluck out a few choice members for the opportunity of a lifetime. Well before Halo 3 hit the masses...these folks hit Halo 3. Watch and see how dreams really do come true.

Laura — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 19:04:00 GMT

Pixelodeon is an annual independent video festival that screens online videos while connecting the people behind the most popular online videos. 2007 was their inaugural year!

It's a great chance for online video producers to meet each other, trade tips and ideas, and check out sponsor booths and check out new products (with the obligatory LOLCATS mention.)

GleeMax : Myspace for Gamers

Laura — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 14:38:00 GMT

Most of you have probably heard of Wizards of the Coast, as they are considered the global leader in hobby gaming (think Dungeons & Dragons)- but you might not be as familiar with Gleemax. Gleemax intends to be the home for gamers on the web – a combination of social networking, on-line gaming and game related content. They haven't fully launched yet but sneak a peek at this interview to get the low down on a site I predict we will all be frequenting.

E3: Peter Moore talks!

Laura — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 18:16:00 GMT

This year E3 really changed things up in terms of format and location. While it was a smaller event, it was definitely more intimate and really allowed those in attendance to spend some time with the games...and the game makers. I found Microsoft Games Executive Peter Moore at the Viceroy for a community party and he was more than happy to share his thoughts with me. Peter has just announced that he's leaving Microsoft to head up EA Sports down in San Francisco. Take a look at this clip from what can now be considered one of his farewall parties.

Share Your Feeds

sarahintampa — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 23:10:00 GMT

The purpose of the website at share.opml.org is to gather a community of RSS subscription lists, in OPML format, and aggregate them in interesting way. An OPML file is essentially a list of the RSS feeds you subscribe to in your preferred RSS reader. Most RSS readers offer a way for you to export your subscription list to an OPML file, which can then be uploaded and shared at the share.opml.org website. You also have the option of sharing your feeds by entering in the URL of your OPML file. Once you're a member and participating by sharing your feeds, you can really take advantage of what the site has to offer. You can view the "Top 100 Feeds" and "Top Podcasts," view the list of the "Most Prolific Subscribers," or query who subscribes to a particular URL, which is a great feature for vanity searches. However, the most useful feature is "Subscriptions Like Mine," which lists all the members of the site who have a feed list similar to your own. This offers you an easy way to discover new feeds may interest you by allowing you to puruse the feed lists of others who have similar tastes in web content.

FaceBook launches it's new platform- and a great party!

Laura — Thu, 31 May 2007 21:06:00 GMT

Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you. They just threw a huge event down in San Francisco,called F8, to launch and celebrate their new platform and features- all of which benefit you. So I grabbed my camera and headed down there to get the low down on what we can all really expect. I was blown away- they've opened up their platform to third party developers who are all contributing to making FaceBook the place to be. Take a look at this video and then head over to some partner sites like Photobucket , box.net , uber.com , BunchBall and U Play Me and check out the collaboration.

Also...I learned what a lolcat is. I must have been living under a rock.

Michael "Coola" Halford - The guy who brings you Xbox 360 news

Tina — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 16:20:00 GMT

My favorite story about Coola is how he actually got his name. He talks about xbox live, the networking and security. He also gives his impression of Gears of War and Viva Pinata. And he's not a fan of the PS3!
