On TechNet Edge there was a request to do a tag with the Edge logo and this is my first result, hope you like it If you want to make one yourself, just download the source picture at Tag your world with TechNet Edge thread on the Edge website. On the picture you can see me in the (former) car of my CEO (it’s a Maserati Quattroporte btw). And no I did’n't crash it .

Today I’ve visited the Edge website again and still it’s not live (yeah…nov 12th it will be, I know), but there was some more info about what the Edge is :

The Homepage & The About page :

This is a new community for IT Pros and a sister site to Channels 8, 9, 10 and Mix Online. We’re still in the process of taking this site live and won’t be open officially for business until Monday morning. Since you found us though, don’t go away! Feel free to join the site, check things as we stabilize. Watch out for wet paint!

While you’re here, pop on over to the The Perimeter and introduce yourself.

Thanks! -Jeff

TechNet Edge is a place where IT professionals go to get the inside scoop on the latest and greatest technologies. You can do stuff like watch screen casts, check out interviews with people who develop the products, connect with your peers and speak what’s on your mind. It is part of the Evangelism Network and follows its doctrine, so you know we keep it real.

On The Perimeter there was a welcome message too :

Hey there,

The Perimeter is a place where you can speak what’s on your mind and connect with people at Microsoft in an informal way.  This is a place where you can communicate with your peers and get feedback on the thoughts you have.  The Perimeter is not a place to attack other people; if all of us follow The Evangelism Network Doctrine, we all reap the benefits of what the Perimeter can provide. Welcome. 

I’m going to check it out next monday when it’s officially launched! You should check it out too : http://edge.technet.com

On several Microsoft blogs they’re talking about TechNET Edge (Bart Wessels, John Weston). At first just the logo you see above was available…but since a few days there is a website located at http://edge.technet.com. What it’s all about? I don’t know, but meraTechport tells us that it will be fully available at November 12th!

The website is a bit empty and not all links/buttons/stuff is working the way it (probably) should…
