Academy Mobile Goes Public

Inside Microsoft we’ve had a social media solution in place (described in this YouTube Video as “combining concepts from FB and YT”) for P2P sharing audio and video for a while now. This video was initially posted on the Academy Mobile internal site, and is now available on YT. 

I’ve been working with this platform since the beta, and am known on my team now as the “Social Media Guy.”
