A New Generation of Microsoft Website
Of the thousands of Microsoft bloggers, few are more thoroughly entertaining than Steve Clayton: Geek In Disguise. While executing his day job as the CTO of Microsoft UK, Mr. Clayton produces a stream of thoughtful, entertaining, and refreshingly brief posts. A couple from today have been cunningly titled cool site #1 and cool site #2.
Just to be difficult, let’s start with site numero uno: http://startdoingmore.com, which has been designed to highlight the experiences that are possible with Windows Mobile 6 software. The site showcases hardware as well, but mostly focuses on the sort of things that can be accomplished with our mobile tools.
He also posted a link to http://zunejourney.net, which has been launched alongside the next wave of Zune devices (which are only ten days away). The art direction on the site is simply stunning, and you’ll spend more time than you thought possible flying around to explore every corner of the Zune universe.
The brilliant bit of coincidence here is that both of these sites were developed by a creative firm here in San Francisco, and a close friend of mine, whose birthday is today, has a hand in building both. How’s that for fondest wishes?

Wait, I had something to do with these sites???
thanks JD - your screenshots of the sites are so much cooler than mine!!
happy birthday to your friends and congrats to them on two great sites :)
Thanks man, yeah we are proud of these babies and we can’t wait to get stuck in to the next ones (yes they will be in Silverlight!).
How’s the the lens working out?
McCann SF scores again, my favorite agency to work with! Zune is stunning… ive been getting rave reviews from all of my geekiest friends who follow every second of the interactive industry, everyone is blown away by the idea, the execution and the artwork. Its also not bogged down by heavy branding. the design charts have it as #1 this week and i predict it will be there for some time.
