My proposals for MIX 2011 have made the initial cut and are on the MIX Open Call site for voting!  Even if you're not going to MIX, head over to http://live.visitmix.com/OpenCall and vote on what sounds interesting.

You can read about my proposals at:

Advanced MVVM Techniques for Silverlight Business Applications http://live.visitmix.com/OpenCall/Vote/Session/130

WCF Patterns and Practices for Silverlight http://live.visitmix.com/OpenCall/Vote/Session/131

Wish me luck! 

The Google Merchant Blog mentiones my project directly:

http://googlemerchantblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/going-to-source-to-improve-product-data.html

We are starting this effort through a business partnership with Edgenet, a provider of product data management solutions. Manufacturers and suppliers can work directly with Edgenet's Ezeedata service to submit high-quality product data and images to Google. For more information, you can visit their website, at www.edgenet.com.

This is the gigantic Silverlight/WCF effor I mentioned before.

{Edit: this post puts us on the "Google Acquisition Watch List" http://searchengineland.com/google-partner-brings-big-data-to-product-search-60711 }

This is a test post!

Hopefully this example post down here works and looks super duper!
