In the Sphere: The AMD Microsoft Tech Tour 2007

Welcome to a new feature here on the official BlueFur blog. A big part of the whole Web 2.0 phenomenon is that we all contribute to the internet experience of others, and as such, we were all named Time Magazine’s person of the year for 2006. In many ways, the things that people write in their personal blogs are just as important and influential as any newscast on CNN, just as noteworthy as what you read in the New York Times. As such, it’s imperative to keep your ear to the ground and listen in on what the general blogging public.

Well, one of the major events sweeping across North America (it kicked off on April 10th in Tampa, Florida and will conclude on June 21st in Atlanta, Georgia) is the AMD Microsoft Tech Tour 2007. A whole crew of marketing geeks from both AMD and Microsoft are traveling through the United States and Canada, educating the people in the industry about the different products and services that they offer, as well as how they can best sell it to their customers. The folks that attend these events include system builders, retail store owners, and other people in the industry. Yes, bloggers too.

The tour stopped in Vancouver, Canada this past Tuesday and the bloggers were there in full force. Michael Kwan (that’s me), Stephen Fung, and John Chow were among those in attendance. There were several booths from manufacturers like VisionTek, Asus, and Gigabyte, as well as several PowerPoint presentations selling us on Windows Vista, ATi graphics cards, and hot new quad-core processors from AMD. Check out those three links for more info surrounding the tour.
