Move Over Flickr, YouTube & .Mac - Microsoft Is Coming

Like many folks I use the Google Alert service to keep me informed of any “online activity” releated to my topics of interest.

…well when this email arrived in my inbox it certainly had my instant INTEREST!

Microsoft are now advertising for a Product Manager (PM) for “building a next-generation photo and video sharing service…”

Here is the blurb from their website posted on the 11/09/2007:

“Come make Windows Live the best place to share your digital memories! Heard of Flickr? YouTube? How about. Mac? This role will work across the new Windows Live division with teams like Spaces, SkyDrive, Messenger and Hotmail to construct a winning strategy for Microsoft in photo and video sharing. This role involves leading the team to design the strategy then build and implement a winning solution that will be loved by millions of customers. This feature team is building a next-generation photo and video sharing service that will compete with flickr, smugmug and other photo web solutions today. This is a “v1” opportunity.”

“This role requires a strong PM with several product cycles of consumer experience. Successful candidates will have strong strategic thinking, outstanding cross team leadership and a proven track record of shipping. The right candidate for this position has an entrepreneurial streak - and functions well as part of a team. The ideal candidate has experience shipping consumer web solutions.”

…can’t wait to see what they have planned!
