Like many, I find the evolution of social networking to be an endlessly fascinating aspect of modern society. In particular, I think it is interesting how social networking intersects with business and influences the growth of technology-based industries. I am not sure that everyone would agree with a taxonomy where the blog is a first-class member of the social networking landscape (my kids for instance couldn't point to a blog if their lives depended upon it, but they do know all about Facebook, Twitter, etc.) but for me the blog is still an important player in the overall structure and trajectory of the social networking evolution.
Last week I got to experience a new aspect of social networking experience - being blogged about. Now, I cannot be certain that Advanced Telemetry (or me personally) hasn't been blogged about previously, but this is certainly the first time that I have been aware of it. The blogger in this case is Microsoft technical architect David Chou. David has been a huge help to me over the past couple of years as I have migrated the Advanced Telemetry product architecture to the Windows Azure platform. David is just one of those guys that seems tirelessly motivated and always ready to offer assistance and advice when it comes to cloud computing topics. For my money he is definitely emerging as one of the thought-leaders in cloud computing and has authored many highly insightful technical papers and articles.
David was largely responsible for introducing the Advanced Telemetry story to Microsoft and has been an advocate and supporter from the first time he came to visit us here in San Diego. His recent blog posting is really an overview of a couple of case studies and other press coverage that we have received from Microsoft over the past 6 months or so. He did a great job of putting it together and it is definitely worth a read. You can find it at the following link:
