Watch Steve ROAR for Web Developers!

I’m on a plane later this afternoon, jetting off to The Big Apple for Search Engine Strategies.

Microsoft will be at the show in force – check out the line up at the adCenter Blog which is moving!

Part of the reason I’m making the trip. All very exciting and all will be revealed on Monday 😉

A very cool site outlining how Windows Vista & Windows Live can enhance the Digital Lifestyles of four very different journeys across this mortal coil.

From now on get a Windows Digital Life!

Want to know Microsoft’s position on search & online advertising?

“Our goal is to promote greater interoperability, opportunity and choice for customers and developers throughout the industry by making our products more open and by sharing even more information about our technologies,” said Steve Ballmer.

Reckon this follows on from the success of things like adLab and the KSP – give people access to develop using APIs and you end up with the mother of all keyword research tools.

Question is…..what would you build?

But it ain’t about the proposed Yahoo! acquisition!
