| Upload your Video now, get great exposure at the WPC and beyond! - Tuesday, June 10, 2008We've been told about a new video library coming out soon for partners to showcase their products and services. Even though the site isnt live yet, you can upload your videos now, and a few will get selected to be shown at the WPC later this summer.
The new services is called Digital Forum and it's a streaming video site dedicated to Microsoft partners. Partners will be able to upload their own “rough-cut” videos that explain their solutions. It's like Solution Profiler combined with Soapbox/YouTube, built all in Silverlight.
The main site will launch in July, but they are accepting uploads now. Any partner videos submitted in the next month will be on the final site when it launches, and may be shown at WPC.
Here is a link to learn more, or upload your video:
https://www.wpcvideos.com
Also, if your wondering how you might capture a demo of your application, you can use a free tool from Microsoft called Community Clips, available HERE. This is a simple application, similar to Adobe Captivate, which simply allows you to record your voice, and your screen, and syncs them together to create a video presentation.
I hope some of you get to take advantage of this opportunity, and I also hope to meet many of you at the WPC this year.
Thanks!
Brian

| Thanks for taking our One Click Survey - Saturday, December 22, 2007 We recently sent out a test of a new idea we have called the PartnerPoint One Click Survey. It is basically a short email with one question, and a list of possible answers you can click on.. One Click is all it takes to give us valuable feedback, and our email platform tracks the unique clicks per member email, and reports back to us in real time..... I hope this allows us to get more input from you, without becoming a pest... as it is this input that drives where we go as a group.
