http://live.pirillo.com - I get invited to several
events throughout the year. I was supposed to
attend an event the other day at Microsoft.
Unfortunately, I've been having issues with my own
Web servers, and couldn't go. Microsoft has been
making waves with their announcement about
bringing advertising to things like the Zune. Tags :videohelpinformationpirillobloggadgetszunesoftwareadvertisingdevicesmobile-device
