Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Microsoft updates Windows Live apps, adds social features
The new Windows Live also supports integration with third party services like Flickr, LinkedIn, Pandora, and Twitter. And Microsoft is increasing the amount of free storage space for Windows Live SkyDrive users from 5GB to 25GB.
Microsoft is doing a phased rollout of the new services, so you may not notice any changes to your account right away. But all existing Windows Live users should see the new features within the next few weeks.
The company is also releasing new versions of its downloadable and web-based applications including Windows live Messenger, Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Photos, and Windows Live People, a one stop shop for contact management.

Looks kinda Zuneish. And that's not a bad thing.

These are great improvements! SkyDrive free storage quintupled!
I really hope the Live websites improve, because they need a whole lot of fixing. Microsoft should have released WinLive like this when they first started. I'm guessing most common web users won't know or care a thing about WinLive improvements.
Can't wait for the updates.

Yeah, it's unfortunate most people won't give a care. To readers of Download Squad, or people that only follow what they consider "trendy" on the web, the internet IS Google, pretty much. Which is too bad, because there's always a lot of alternatives out there, but people will find some reason to stick to Google stuff, because they're so used to it.
