I thought I'd share a couple emails I sent that I sent around to my managers and coworkers right after attending MIX08. At the time I was working for an interactive marketing agency who is a dotnet shop but does all interactive work in flash. These emails are the approach I was taking. Hopefully you find them useful or can point out ways I could do this better. Thanks, and enjoy!
Subject: silverlight being used for the olympics There’s a good article in PCWorld that talks about how Silverlight is being used by NNC to stream video for the Olympics web site. Just so everyone is clear, the demo at MIX was with Olympic coverage from previous years. This year’s coverage at Beijing will be shown live and then made available as video on-demand.
