I love the scratch pad and able to organize my search, second the connect me feature that allows live local to call for you the business, restaurant or whatever you are searching for and connecting both of you over the phone. Most amazingly is the 3D embeded control allowing you to view 3D buildings, and of course the Kewl Bird's Eye View :) who can ever beat that.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Ok if any of you haven't tried this yet, you should go now and download two new gadgets launched by Windows Live Search team.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Live Search Traffic Gadget&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"&gt;&lt;A href="http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=d5ad423c-05bd-4de4-8803-b05ecc339397&amp;amp;l=1" mce_href="http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=d5ad423c-05bd-4de4-8803-b05ecc339397&amp;amp;l=1"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Download&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;I use the gadget every time i try to get ahead of traffic, just taking a quick peek before taking any of the major highways in the seattle area. It really shows real time traffic on your side bar, and its awesome since now i don't ever forget to take a look at traffic before i take off with my car, because it is always on the side bar.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;Live Search Gadget &lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"&gt;&lt;A href="http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=79bb78b3-2064-4575-97ea-d36e5d37ee4a" mce_href="http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=79bb78b3-2064-4575-97ea-d36e5d37ee4a"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Download&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;This one is really kewl, just you have a nice looking search bar on the side and it doesn't open a new browser and interrupts what you're doing, but you can just take a quick look at the search results and if you like you can just open in a new window.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;Anyway if any of you have tried them and have any comments let me know i would love to know what you all think of those kewl live gadgets.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
