In other Live news, Live Favorites V1, the online bookmark manager has been released. It is described as a web based manager for bookmarks, RSS feeds, blogs, contacts and memos. Using Live Favorites enables you to view your bookmarks on any computer no matter where you are as long as you have an internet connection. A few of the enhancements you will see with this new release are:
- Increase in speed
- Browser Support (IE6, IE7, and Firefox)
- Easier Sharing
I’m sure we can be expecting more Live services headed our way. What do you think of Live Favorites?
One can’t deny, the Live services are looking good. Whilst Google already provides all the features, the way M$ is making them makes them appear newer which people always like. If I was Google now I would consider adding some sort of skin ability to their sites, so that people can customise the look as well as what’s on them. The idea of bookmarks being integrated with RSS is pretty nice too – maybe Google should look at that, as the Reader can still be quite a confusing tool to use.
how about providing a hyperlink within the article to live.com?
Thanks, we’ve added a hyperlink in the first sentence that takes you to live.com.
