Impressions of Silverlight on Beet.TV
Self serving: My friend Andy Plesser of Beet.TV put me on camera to talk about MIX07 and Microsoft's new Silverlight platform. We were poolside at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, where the AlwaysOn OnHollywood conference is taking place. More to come from OnHollywood today, including Digg founder Kevin Rose talking about the Digg revolt. As my colleague Larry Dignan said: "The Digg incident is scary for any traditional media outlet that thinks a Digg-like format is the future. Let's say USA Today evolves to become Digg-like. What would it do in the same situation? Corporations are way too lawyered."
