@Dan: Of the examples you gave, all (with the exception of coding4fun, which is taken care of here anyway) are already blasted about the netherspear such that blasting them here represents no new gain.  HOWEVER, if those things are 1st introduced here before being blasted about the netherspear then that would be a different story.  In other words it keeps more in tune with the channel 9 medium of discussion of new ideas (except it is marketing's ideas).  From the what is channel 9 definition "We bring forward the people behind our products and connect them with those who use them."  Initial marketing of a technical nature fits this.  Pure marketing of the netherspear does not.
