See the first day, pre-conference at MIX08 through student eyes.

About Mix: On the frontiers of the Web, boundaries are blurring—developers and designers, advertisers and publishers, software and services, media and technology, TV and PCs, PCs and mobile devices, producers and consumers. The old order is getting a little MIXed up.

We already have lots of mini-interviews coming up for you from Day 2. Let us know what you want to hear from this conference. You can find the agenda here.

In Ray Ozzie’s keynote, pay particular attention to:

1. The declarative statements about the “economic engine that fuels the web”
2. The social mesh
3. The device mesh
4. The internet as the “hub” of personal and enterprise connectivity
5. The social nature of existence
6. Choice
7. Utility computing and virtualization
8. The future of development

The demos that follow are inspiring.. Can we transform the classroom experience? Reinvent the school? Deliver services, software and value to students? Enable people to create, innovate and build whole new local economies? Get jobs?

The possibilities are endless. I couldn’t be more excited to be working here now! We can deliver on the promise of helping people all over the world realize their full potential.

We can't make it alone, let’s work together to make sure we can transform this things into meaningful realities as we help through this massive “recombination of the DNA of the Web”.

Awesome content and great opportunities for everyone!
