10 is Channel 9's new community sister site loaded with videos and blogs. There is, however, a great difference between the two. Where Channel 9 is about the people within Microsoft who build software, 10 is about sharing insight to different technologies both inside and outside Microsoft.

10 is for enthusiasts who dream of changing the world through technology and is based widely on contributions from these enthusiasts. Every weekday at 10:00 AM a new video is released and they cover a lot of different subjects.

The only thing that in my opinion makes it a little less interesting than Channel 9 is the many different subjects they cover. It’s far from all the subjects that interest me, but luckily a lot of them do. Just watch the videos you care about and ignore the once you don't.

It’s a very cool initiative and I hope it succeeds.

I find AJAX to be a great way of combining server-side and client-side experiences. Its' the perfect example of synergy, where the whole experience is greater than the sum of it's parts. Having said that, a lot of websites over-use it to such an extent that the only real purpose have been to show of. Pelle Svane explained this AJAX show off phenomenon.

Doing it right
The new image search engine at live.com is a perfect example of doing it right. It is very user friendly, good designed and, most importantly, very simple to use. Microsoft have been getting it real lately, and that's nice to see.
