Yeah, TFS I think brought all their dev back in house and while the design might be a little utilitarian, whoever is behind the dev work seems to be fairly switched on. I think their status display on the site is hooked directly into their incident control system, as I recently saw a car accident reported at midnight showed up almost in real time on the page, which is a big improvement over the previous system which had to be manually updated. All they need now is twitter integration... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
