After showing you a job listing that pointed towards Microsoft building a community website to connect Kinect developers and Kinect gamers. Now, 123kinect can unveil that a job listing for working with Microsoft on this website, gives even more insight in their Kinect community plans: A new team in IEB is looking for a PM to represent & engage with the community to drive marketplace demand for our platform through user-generated content and professional applications. [...] We need help changing our existing KinectShare.com site to become a system in which the community of influencers can connect, help each other, build knowledge and expand audience. We need to provide users existing social systems like Facebook, mobile and other devices for easy interaction with Kinect experiences so they can play, share, create and connect through KinectShare! Sound fun? We think so! The job listing also shows the following goals: Help create a new community site centered around Kinect for developers, users, consumers. This is only slightly different from the earlier job listing (‘consumers’ were not a separate stakeholder before in the goal description): Help create a new community site centered around Kinect developers and users. Making us believe that both point to the same website: Microsoft’s KinectShare.com domain. At this point, KinectShare.com is used to access and share your photos and videos from your Kinect games. Unfortunately, as Microsoft is still in the recruiting phase, the website will probably take a while to be completed. Either way, we’ll be sure to monitor the situation. Let’s hope they are able to create a vibrant community around these Xbox Kinect enthusiasts! Should you want to contribute and have no problems of working in the Seattle area, then apply for the job at Microsoft. Source: Microsoft Careers
