Some news from the Microsoft Live's World..

The first news comes from the Microsoft Live Labs and I personally like it (using and founding it useful).

They released a new project called Thumbtack. On the main page we can read that Thumbtack is a new and easy way to save anything you want on the web, like links, photos, personal notes and so on, manage them with the Thumbtack Collection, and then use them anywhere you can get online.

Some years ago, when OneNote was added to the Office suite, I started to use it and I really found it so useful; this little program allows me to manage all my stuff, putting schema, picture, notes, and all the things from my clipboard together. Today Thumbtack looks so close to OneNote, but with some advantages that comes from the Web platform (and last but not least it is also free :D )

If you want to try it, you can find more information on the Team's blog, or on the Project's page.

The other, nice, news comes from the Windows Live SkyDrive service. Ok, I think quite all know that now the, free, store space grown up to 25 GB (COOL!!).

But the really cool new feature, in my opinion, is the one that allow us to download entire folders as a .zip file, and I think it's really useful, especially if you're working with pictures or a lot of related documents (and I'm sure that my friend Jan will find it so nice).

Enjoy it!
