While down at SXSW I had the opportunity to hang out with a few of the teams at AMD.  Not only were they at the Blogger Lounge every day but they were nice enough to sponsor our Inbound Marketing Bootcamp.  Of everything else I saw at SXSW, there was one product that got me super excited….and it wasn’t even part of SXSW.  You see, one of the things that I arranged with AMD was that during our break for lunch, that we would take a tour of their brand new campus.  I figured it was my chance to geek out and I was correct.

Casey Gotcher, Director of Product Marketing at AMD, was nice enough to give us a demo of some of the cool stuff that he has been working on.  The product that he’s been working really hard on is the AMD Fusion Media Explorer.  The Fusion Media Explorer is a “3D immersive social media and digital media browser”.  Basically, it takes all of the media on your computer, displays it in a really cool way and then allows you to interact with the interwebs based on what form of media you’re viewing and the subject of that media.  Casey explained that the Fusion Media Explorer is based around the concept of “Explore, Experience and Discover”.  While I could list off all of the features and bore you with a long technical post about this new cool toy, how about I just show you a video…

Since receiving Casey’s email a couple days ago, I have only had a chance to play with the software a little bit myself.  But, I can tell you that there aren’t too many new things that I’ve seen lately that get me as excited as I have been since seeing the first demo a few weeks ago.

In the next couple weeks AMD will be seeding it into public beta and will be free to download.  However, as of right now, it will only work on computers running AMD chips, for obvious reasons.  But, if you are really quiet and don’t tell AMD, you can get a pre-release copy of the Fusion Media Explorer now.  Download the Fusion Media Explorer here.

Once you take it for a test-drive, stop back over and let me know what you think…
