Fred Pullen’s Blog :: Microsoft Technical Evangelism

by Alex de Carvalho. Average Reading Time: about a minute.

A mutual friend, Mike Pin­sky, put me in touch with Fred Pullen, who I know from high school and haven’t seen in ages. In fact, our reunion is com­ing up in a month or so and it looks like I won’t be the only blog­ger attend­ing (if I can make it) as Fred main­tains his own blog.

It kind of comes with the job, though, of being a Tech­ni­cal Evan­ge­list for Microsoft! I won­der if he knows Robert Scoble, who linkblogged me a month ago, and whom I might see speak at Reboot 7.0 in Copen­hagen (again, if I make it)?

Small world. And good memories.

By the way, I’d like to hear Fred’s pre­sen­ta­tion on the Win­dows Mobile plat­form: Fred Pullen’s Blog :: Col­orado Springs, CO on Thurs­day, May 26th.

Mobil­ity — Stay in touch, Sync up and have every­thing togeth­er­Are you and your cus­tomers lever­ag­ing mobile solu­tions today? Do your cus­tomers have access to crit­i­cal busi­ness infor­ma­tion out­side the office eas­ily, read­ily, and securely? Can you artic­u­late the strengths of the Win­dows Mobile plat­form? Come join us and find out how you can deploy a mobile solu­tion, effec­tively and securely, the very first time! You will not want to miss this session.

    the world keeps get­ting smaller

    Hard to believe it’s been twenty years since we grad­u­ated from high school, but all the proof seems to be …

    Amaz­ing, Alex. I do hope you can make it to the reunion!

    I’ve met Scoble, but he prob­a­bly doesn’t remem­ber it. :-) We have the same title, but we’re on dif­fer­ent teams; I’m part of Microsoft Across Amer­ica (link above), a group that presents around the US. Tonight I’m pre­sent­ing on Win­dows Server Update Ser­vices to a user group, for exam­ple. My job’s really great, because I’m not out to sell any­thing; I’m just there to make peo­ple aware of tech­ni­cal solu­tions, kind of like I did in high school when I talked our friends into buy­ing Com­modore 64 computers.

    Let me know if you ever want to dis­cuss mobile solu­tions. I’d be happy to host an online web­cast for you and your friends, if you like. Busi­nesses are already using mobile tech­nol­ogy in a lot of really cool ways, and it’s just going to get bet­ter. Best of all, this is cool stuff that solves busi­ness needs! We’re start­ing to see that busi­nesses using mobile solu­tions are more suc­cess­ful than those who don’t, so in many cases it’s a com­pet­i­tive advan­tage. Def­i­nitely a win/win!
