Posted by Aaron Hi, I m Aaron, a PM for Messenger on the Voice, Video and Sounds team. A year or so ago I bought my wife a new digital camera. It came with a very detailed, and very boring, instruction manual. We never read it. The camera was a basic point and shoot camera, nothing fancy. It did what we needed. It was only 11 months later, during a vacation to France when we asked a random person to snap a photo of us did we discover a really cool feature. It turns out, this gentlemen had the same camera, and had read the instruction manual. Instruction manuals give you an overview of what your new camera, or new software application can do, but why do they have to be so boring! The Messenger team has put together an awesome introductory video for Windows Live Messenger. This video is SO much better than an instruction manual! The onscreen guide walks you through many of the features of Messenger to give new and long time Messenger users insight into what Messenger can do. Don t let some stranger tell you about cool Messenger features, find out for yourself with this great video! http: imagine windowslive.com Messenger Launch en GB Default.aspx If you have a comment on this post please comment! For other questions concerns discussion topics rants raves etc please head over to the Windows Live Messenger Newsgroup.

Photo Courtesy of StockVault Wow! We were a little overwhelmed by the positive response our Beta received earlier in the week. We expected a few in the tech set to write reviews, but never imagined the out pouring of excitement. I thought I would share some of the high points. Read Write Web did an exceptionally detailed review and here s a little except, Bloglines has me back as a fan! Even the competition likes Blogline Beta. Chris Wetherall of Google Reader described Bloglines as, Wicked Cool. 3,000 posts were written across the web. Most of these from Blogliners excited about the return of Bloglines. nbsp; I love you Blogliners! Lots of people were and continue to discuss future releases of Bloglines in our Forums. But we also wanted you to know that we heard another message Don t take too long to release additional features! We ll be listening to you and announcing additional features going forward. In fact, our next feature slated for release is Keep as New. This was the single most requested item from active Blogliners. We re working on it right now. We ll keep you posted on this and other releases as we get closer. Cheers! Eric Engleman and the Bloglines Team
I came across these ads the other day and thought I would share them. These ran back in 1999 2000 when Snap.com was promoting itself heavily on TV. They are focusing on the fact that Snap.com used GlobalBrain technology to power their search. Why is this relevant to site search? SLI Systems acquired the GlobalBrain technology back in 2001 and it is used in our Learning Search product.
