Hello everyone. My name is Mark Brown. I am a product manager for Virtual Earth at Microsoft.

This is my first time to this conference so I am very excited to be a part of this event. I am also hoping that I get to connect with any of you there that are curious about Microsoft's Virtual Earth. I have only been in this group for about 12 weeks now but I have to say that the work this team is doing is simply amazing and I'd love to share.

PS: I'll get an image of myself posted up here soon so you'll know what I look like :)
