As many geeks already know, Microsoft has two fantastic sites called Channel 9 and Channel 10. Channel 9 is designed for developers and code geeks to talk about developer stuff and Channel 10 is for the tech enthusiast. The same team (led by the awesome Jeff Sandquist) is now launching Channel 8 - a new site dedicated to helping students connect with other students (and other folks) interested in writing code and excited about technology. Check out Channel 8 here.

Mary Jo Foley had broke the story shedding light on Channel 8 earlier this month.

I am unsure on whether or not Channel 8 has actually officially launched just yet. Usually Jeff posts about a new property launch from his team on his blog and I’ve not seen anything yet (he is on vacation though). The site may be up for testing and may go down. If it does go down, enjoy the above screenshot.

Thanks to Mark Johnston for the heads up.

I’m not a student so not sure how much this site will relate to me. I usually read Channel 10.
