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…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Karsten and
Tim have created a really cool application that aggregates Twitter, Facebook, any social networking feed into a novel WPF-based UI. This was first shown at MIX07. They call their creation
Flotzam. Check this out.
And for the developers in the audience, Karsten and Tim have provided the source code to Flotzam for you to play around with. You've met Karsten before on Channel 9. Tim is a designer in the DPE group who is responsible for much of the MIX07 design (cool stuff).
Flotzam is a great example of Designer/Developer application building that is enabled by some of our latest technologies (Blend, etc).
Enjoy.

That was a fun video. Nice job Charles displaying your engaging interview skills and congrats to Karsten and Tim on making a cool application and experimenting with the Designer/Developer workflow.
Looking forward ot the next version
Ye, i laughed alot
Awesome interview. I wouldnt mind more like this
Karsten was awesome to work with and I'm hoping to work on more projects like this ...
I love my job
Don't get me wrong, Karsten and Tim's work is awesome, but I am a sucker for that Surface/FTIR stuff... it rocks!
I must admit i also thought it could be a Surface app. But nevermind this rocks too
And by very easy I mean I actually have no idea how to do it, but I'm told that it's possible.
Does anyone think it would be worth exploring? What about being able to "grab" a panel, resize it, and automatically have more content appear in the panel as it gets bigger? That's an idea I have for the next generation of this, but I thought I'd gauge interest in this functionality.
Any other suggestions? Karsten and I were thinking about opening this up for a "remix contest". What'cha think?
As far as it being an app for surface, I would think that in a bar.. as kind of an entertainment app, you could have the bar specify RSS feeds relevant to the particular place. For instance, a golf club house could have feeds off golf.com, ESPN, Tiger Woods myspace, etc.
Interesting app.
The panel grab idea is cool too. Dynamic content like that would be phenomenal!
