So we were contacted by M80, who is currently trying to build some momentum around Visual Studio 2010, and they wanted us to tell our readers about a YouTube channel called Developer Stories. I checked out some of the videos and they're not all that bad - mostly interviews with developers about their lives and why they do what they do. We definitely weren't paid to pass along this info, although I wish we were, but I thought it was interesting and worth checking out.
Here's the contents of M80's email:
Hello Switch On The Code Staff,
My name is BJ DeHut and I am a social media marketing manager at M80. Currently I am working with Microsoft in promotion of their new Visual Studio 2010 which is set to be released on April 14, 2010. As your site, Switch on the Code, speaks to developers we are hoping you would be interested in sharing our video request for developer feedback to your audience. We’d also be very interested in your editorial opinion of the video. This campaign is focused on sharing the stories of developers and those in the industry. As many developers tend to be underappreciated and overworked, this campaign is centered on recognizing the talents and individual voices of these developers.
