How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
In this talk, I propose that EVERY developer needs a blog.
In 2009, I presented a talk at Wintellect's Devscovery conference called "Social Networking for Developers." My postulate was that EVERY developer should be using Social Networking, and this talk I gave was my introduction of this idea to a large group. This was the keynote for the conference. I finally got ahold of the source recordings (only guerilla recordings had been available previously) and as even those recordings were popular, so I'm preserving these talks here as a way of encouraging more discussion.
Be sure to watch Part 2 after this one.

I was looking for a reason to blog, now I found one. Thanks. Starting tomorrow...
I find this idea intimidating. My blog is strangly personal and I am not sure I would want it to be part of my professional portfolio. Sure there is an amount of vanity in having a blog and hoping that somebody reads it, but I would be embarrassed to think that a potential employer reads my blog.
Though I suppose that my blog would be more appropritate than my Facebook page...

Quote of the day "I like to Google with Bing".
A few things Scott has said have roused my attention and are linked;
Wearing Suits
In the UK we don't make anything, instead we have fostered an environment for investment banks and the companies that service banking. If you want to earn good money and be involved in mentally demanding projects, there's only one serious option*. I don't know a bank that doesn't block social networking sites, or doesn't enforce suits.
Employment/Recruitment and Blogs
In my experience, the banks don't spend much time looking at CVs to look at a blog. In a recent interview with a "billy big potatoes" WPF-on-the-tradefloor consultancy, they complained about candidates that don't research stuff mentioned in interview, and yet when asked, they interviewers hadn't checked my blog and even asked questions that they only knew the answer to because I had highlighted it on MSDN in the comments section.
Even more importantly, recruitment consultants strip out real names and blog information from our resumés!! The situation is ridiculous and is negative for everyone involved.
MSDN Comments
Lastly, I'm amazed how little there is in the comments sections on MSDN. I make a point of going back to the article and adding something to help prevent other humans feeling the excruciating frustration that I went though to make something work. We blog about x and get answers on Stackoverflow to y but why aren't we getting that information put on the documentation? The facility is right there. I think its because MS don't push the rewards system enough and so there's no glory in it.
Thanks, Luke
(Scott: great talk as always, keep the humour coming)
*the UK has a big bio-chem and medical base in Cambridge but they tend to draw from their own universities. Maybe we have formula one automotive engineering or Rolls Royce in Derby but in terms of job abundance, the City of London is the only reasonable go to. (Discuss).

Interesting talk, I never really thought about social networking this way.
Thought I would start trying it by leaving this comment
Well, so I'll follow common practice here: http://blog.js-development.com
I am fan of your old talk shows few years back, but when I heard this one, there is sth missing, then I repeat few times, then I understand. you are no longer Hanselman, your own character, you are microsoft man. or say evangnist, you follow microsoft bible. I think it is life, you need to make money to live comfortable.
I am go back to listen your old songs with your old pals, sometime old is better than new, like this case, sorry!!
Actually, every "technology evanghelist" needs a blog. Developers can very well live without one.
Or, to put it another way: those who can, DO. those who can't write a blog teaching others.
Thanks everyone, for those visit my both blogs, my name is Carlos from Brazil, actually I have an educative blogs http://www.englishtips-self-taught.blogspot.com and http://www.aventureirosdacaatinga.blogspot.com
