Greetings
Who I am
Website location
Lots to cover: Gretchen Macdowall interview... email interview, Ebay Advertising, tons of feedback this week. Episode number 10: Impresario episode. Episode #11 Interview with Gary Rosenzweig... that interview alone is almost 1 hour.
Last's weeks show was a huge success breaking our "single day" download record along with record amount of bandwidth! Which is why we will discuss the Ebay advertising in a minute

Usability, ease of use, confusion factor, easy to navigate, makes sense to end user.

New Entries: Walter Last sent in "Children's Book" and Graham Cilito sent in a 3d mesh controller application. NEED MORE ENTRIES, you have until the end of the month! Quite a bit of 3D stuff coming in, maybe it justifies a monthly contest for best 3D application or content? Very strong interest in the 3D aspect of Director out there.
Director Resource Software... need programmers that want to take on this community project. Need XML experts that can parse RSS feeds. We have the basics finished but this will be a great community project. In addition, anybody who helps on the project will be mentioned in the credits of the software. The software will be made available to anybody who wants to download it for free. Shoot me an email at skip@magicgate.com to discuss your qualifications and how you can fit into this project.
