Save Yourself Big Bucks On eBay With TypoTracker

A friend just informed me of this nice tool called TypoTracker that will allow you to search for an item on eBay. Searching with this is a little sneaky because it will allow you to search for misspellings of the item you are looking for. How will that benefit you? This means that you can search for items and find listings that normal people searching on eBay can't find.

Windows Live Gets A New Sign-In Screen

The Windows Live services now have a new sign-in user interface that replaces the old Passport screen. The new interface (pictured above) reminds me of the Windows Login screen where you select which user you are and then it displays a box for you to enter your password. I am sure that this is their goal so that users see something familiar to them and naturally lean toward their services.
