Well, wait no longer! Microsoft has launched an inside live site dedicated to introduce anyone interested to their new “Web 2.0” properties. Though I think they need to add more detail, they have started with two mini-interviews of Windows Live developers.
More information on the site is available by clicking on the Windows Live logo at the top of the “inside live” site.
Did anyone else get an email message from Skype this afternoon indicating that a number of calls were going to be free through the end of this year. If the call originates in the US/Canada and is directed to any US/Canada Landline, Wireless, or Skype number, that it is free.
Calls to friends and family on Skype have always been free. Now we’ve made calls within the US and Canada to all phones totally free till the end of the year.
Starting from today it doesn’t matter if it’s a Skype-to-Skype call or a call to landline or mobile phone – it’s free as long as you’re calling from within the US or Canada to US or Canadian phone number.
How can we do this? Well, we hope our customers will support us by using Skype to make international calls at incredibly cheap rates, or by buying stuff from our store – like Skype Voicemail, perhaps an accessory like headphones to make using Skype even easier, or even a cool ringtone to personalize your Skype.
Very cool!
Ok, here is a neat new service: BackupMyBlog
TechCrunch has the details on the new service that is currently in beta.  The BackupMyBlog service performs an automated backup of your blog once a day. The service will then email you a status report on the backup.
Great stuff, I’m trying it out on RickMahn.com to see how the service performs and evaluate the reporting features. Should be interesting, I’ve been looking for this type of service for awhile.
Easton Ellsworth has posted an article over on Performancing about the three tools he uses to track his conversations & comments. He uses a combination of coComment, del.icio.us, and co.mments. Head on over and joint join the discussion.
Robert Scoble has a post about a new OPML sharing service that Dave Winer is launching. You can read all about it at TechCrunch.
Uploaded my OPML file of all my current feeds, and browsed around the service. Its really quite interesting the ways you can sort and look up information on different feeds. Neat stuff!
Thank you Dave!
@MAC_Arms Pay taxes when you make your money, pay taxes when you spend your money, pay taxes when you successfully invest your money, pay taxes when you save enough taxed money to afford a house, pay taxes to live in your house, pay taxes when you sell the house that you paid taxes on to
Yup, taxes are criminal and we need serious reforms. I've always said that if you want to see a tax revolt, make withholdings illegal and have Americans write a tax check every payday. They'll revolt for sure. You don't miss what you never had.
I think it’s safe to say that @GovEvers should stop blocking audits in Wisconsin and open the books…
“Only AMERICAN citizens should vote.”
Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
“We’re talking about a very low threshold — identify who you are and prove you’re a U.S. citizen when you register to vote. I think we’re getting closer to
Wrong. Democrats are solely responsible for hours-long airport lines.
They voted to defund TSA three times and won’t even entertain a conversation about reopening it. Why?
They’re using it as leverage to stop enforcing immigration laws.
