What led to the new content model?

posted on June 3, 2008 by Bryant Zadegan

You might get the impression from Victor’s introduction to v5 that AeroXperience will no longer be about breaking the latest, greatest, and awesomest (!) news from the realm of Windows, Office, and other technologies emerging from Microsoft. For many of you reading this post right now, this thought may be mildly disconcerting.

This is true, but only in a limited way.

AeroXperience has been known for being a great place to talk about the latest UI trends, and some of the exclusive front page content has been known to foster some, ahem, interesting discussions both on the forums and within the halls of Building 37 (and others) on Microsoft’s Redmond Campus. This was content we were convinced would bring additional enthusiast favor in Microsoft’s general direction, in addition to maintaining the current appeal Microsoft currently holds amongst user experience communities such as AeroXperience.

Over time, we have become home to not only some of the most dedicated Microsoft technology enthusiasts around, but we’ve also gathered a dedicated following of experts willing to provide their time in order to serve the greater good of these various communities. We expect to bring our readers and members some of the most qualified information, commentaries, tutorials, and general content thanks entirely to a core group of developers, hackers, and expert enthusiasts all with time to donate to the cause of useful information.

While opinions on current news and events relating to current Microsoft technologies may be presented on the front page, purely reverberated information (dry cut & paste) or private/internal material will no longer be used to substantiate the front page. Why rely on illegitimate material if we can instead provide some of the best original content?
