A couple things about the Snack Box stood out for me;

  • The promise of amount of content. It seems that there’s going to be content for the consumer, IT and developer.
  • The content presentation is not just video dime-casts (aka 10 minute’ish videos) but instead takes advantage of Silverlight to provide a more interactive experience
  • And last, but coolest, the opportunity for the communicate to provide additional content. One problem with these kinds of sites is that the content can get stale quickly (or become Marketing-ware, etc). By allowing us to submit content, we can help drive the content and direction.
