Free software and conference trips for Microsoft student bloggers

Student Insider, launched by Microsoft, aims at getting college students with established blogs to blog for the Microsoft new Expression software, in return for free software and all expenses paid trips to Microsoft conventions, wherein the Student Insider will blog about his experiences and a wide range of Microsoft products, expected to write 500 blogs each on at least 15 events through the year.

This program differs from the Student Partnership Program, Dream Spirit, which handed out free developer software and the Microsoft Student Ambassadors program and focuses intensively on blogging about the new Expression software.
