Some of you may have noticed that will was here and now he's gone. In our haste Will and I both thought it would be great for him to post here but we've realized a few things.
One, there are lots of great, talented designers and developers in Microsoft blogging about design. Two, it would be awesome if we could surface some more of this content to our audience.
So, Will has created a new meta-blog called Design for Innovation. Right now my blog will feed into it and so I don't get lonely on the meta-blog Will has created his own blog as well called Experience is the Key. Over time we'll be added more Microsoft bloggers to the mix and who knows, maybe others. Anyhoo, it's a new resources we hope you'll enjoy. Back to business.
I really believe that what's going on at Microsoft and the industry is bigger than a meta-blog. I understand that this is a start, but I think this should be on www.microsoft.com/design or a new site, including videos, guidance, papers, web cast, round tables and interviews.
To have Design for Innovation, microsoft.com/design and all the Expression and WPF bloggers seems very scattered. I spend a lot of time going through feeds and sites, but I think my experience is better served by a single Microsoft site for everything UX/Design/Tools/Platform/Technology.
I think that is one of the main themes of MSDN and why developers love it.

We are scatterd. But remember this is a journey for us. A new market, new customers and new tools. We'll get there.
