Windows Live Writer Enhancement: Insert Code

Markus Fischer — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 21:10:35 GMT

There are only two reasons why I have avoided Windows Live Writer so far it is still beta... it does not have a kind of "Insert Code" like my online form Today I discovered that Omar Shahine has build a "Insert Code for Windows Live Writer" - and kindly also hast posted it on Windows Live Gallery. Thanks Omar!

Ms. Dewey - Just another search engine or the future form of presenting search results?

Markus Fischer — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 20:45:04 GMT

I just came across Ms. Dewey, which in my personal opinion is a very interesting effort to make a search engine more "personal" and could also help to dear down barriers for target groups with low affinity for the Internet... The search engine technology used behind the scenes is Windows Live like mentioned here in the Windows Live Blog. As a suggestion: the result set could be arranged in a larger area to enhance the lucidity.... But this is a nice try I think... Microsoft, listen! With Lena Gerke being the "german face" for Windows Live I would expect - and also highly recommend.. :-) - a localized version...
