Windows Live Ideas Beta Account Signup
Thanks to an old friend working behind the scenes at Microsoft, we have word of a new Microsoft site that gives you the ability to sign up for an account on Microsoft's latest beta products. Windows Live Ideas is the site and it's part of the new MSFT branding strategy. Think big but work in small nimble teams and get stuff out the door faster than before. Oh yeah, and be a web platform company instead of a Microsoft OS company [yes, I'm being sarcastic]The Windows Live site offers the ability to create a beta account for a wide array of new Microsoft service offerings including...
Live.com
“Have your way with this page. Sign in, get the content you want—news, sports, search results, whatever—add columns, and move stuff around at will. It’s all you.”
Windows Live Mail Beta
“It’s all new web mail, built from the ground up. Preview your e-mail without loading a new page each time (like Outlook®) drag and drop messages into folders, and generally power through your e-mail in a flash.”
Windows Live Search beta-mobile
“Coming soon - Picture this: You search for a restaurant with your phone, then click on the result to be connected immediately. Plus, you can see detailed maps, driving directions, and more—all formatted to fit the screen on your mobile device.”
And a bunch of other apps as well. They also provide links to the blogs of popular Microsoft products too. Oh my, msft is getting in the information sharing business again, this is starting to get exciting as Google is getting into the information hoarding business. My oh my how the tables have turned.
