However this is not the first time this was done at all.

This same approach was used by Cynergy nearly a year ago when they won the National Microsoft Phizzpop Challenge. You can see their live phone call to Senator Obama’s office at SXSW a year ago here

http://www.truveo.com/PhizzPop-Cynergy-presents-Ben/id/288230381149978300

Cynergy then demonstrated the same approach, again calling Senator Obama’s office live from the UXWeek conference over the summer.

http://vimeo.com/2833183

The general approach was blogged by Skype as well

http://share.skype.com/sites/us/2008/09/ben_franklin_namesake_goes_phi.html

In the name of fairness, openness and honesty it is worth adjusting the claims that this is the first time ever this has been accomplished, and to give reference and claims to those who have laid the foundation for this kind of thought leadership.

I think not $400 for FlexBuilder is just as cheap if not cheaper. A poor workman blames expensive tools. Now your app is just useless as SL only have what 5% max market penetration where as if you used just flash you would have covered 98%. If you actualyl want to make an app the people will use forget SL and go Flash/flex.

Any news about the enabling of webcam support? For local sub we created a webcamgame, where you get points if you mimic the exact movements of the dancer on the website.

We are glad this has been heard and we hope mic support will soon be available in Silverlight.

I am still wondering about the 100% Silverlight assumption being made since Techcrunch in their article & we on our demo page had clearly mentioned about the workaround using Flash. In fact, Leena’s mention about this solution using a competing platform ensured that floor was nicely laid without any hidden details.

In general, I think folks who are comfortable with this solution will go ahead use it. Once Silverlight has the mic support, we will be able to provide a 100% silverlight solution.

Thanks again everyone for your comments,

Apul Nahata

I think it’s a great solution for the no mic support in Silverlight, I guess what’s a little concerning is it’s leaving people with the assumption that it’s 100% Silverlight… which judging by the comments above has backfired a little.

That being said, as a member of the Silverlight Team we hear you loud and clear on the mic support.

Stay tuned… :)
