If you don't know what google reader is, read this .  If you do know what google reader is, you know it is getting decommissioned on July 1st 2013 and you're likely anxiously looking for a replacement. If so,  the old reader is a clone of google reader, which as best I can tell is almost identical to google reader, down to the keyboard shortcuts. That's my google reader replacement - enjoy!

I work on the Windows Azure compute stack fundamentals. I'm the lead of the performance team, which is changing focus  to developer analytics and visualizations.   Because I work low in the stack, you don't usually see my team's work directly, although you feel our impact every time you deploy or update your service.  Today, I'm pleased you can get a glimpse of what my team does in Mark Russinovich 's  TechEd Talk . The entire talk describes the system my team optimizes. You can specifically see some of the visualization and analytics my team developed at 1h0m when Mark visualizes the  update domains walk, and at 1h04m when Mark shows  a hosting environment update.   My team also helps prototype new features which impact performance like the DeltaVHD feature Mark describes. If you'd like to learn more about Windows Azure or my team, leave a comment.
