Windows Live introduced new Desktop E-mail checking software for your everyday e-mail usage. It's a quick alternative to outlook with a Windows Live interface. A simple, powerful tool that lets you get e-mail from multiple accounts in one place and integrates your mail with Windows Live™ Spaces, Windows Live Contacts, Windows Live Messenger, and more.

Key Features:

1. Speedy access to multiple e-mail accounts in one place (even AOL, Gmail, and many others)
2. Compose and manage e-mail while offline: simply connect to the internet and your messages are sent and new messages downloaded
3. A reading pane and drag-and-drop features, so you can quickly read and manage your mail
4. Synchronization with Windows Live Mail and MSN® Hotmail® accounts
5. Easily share your images with friends and family and create slide shows using the powerful photo e-mail tools
6. Launch a Windows Live Messenger conversation right from the program
7. Post Blog content to your Windows Live Space with the click of a button
8. Get your newsgroups and RSS feeds as easily as you get e-mail
9. Virus scanning for all Windows Live Mail and Hotmail accounts
10. Smart Screen technology helps protect all your e-mail accounts from junk mail and phishing scams
11. Color-coded messages help you quickly identify safe and suspicious e-mail

I've been using this program for a quite sometimes now. Looks neat. Most probably Microsoft is trying to get the market of Mozilla Thunderbird. Try it and see.

in.solit.us is a web application, programmed in Ruby on Rails, where you can share any file you want, allowing you to limit this share to a single person, a group of people, or make it public and let everyone download it. There is no disk usage limit set on users. It's a very fast and easy to use web 2.0 application.

Currently this site is ad-free and without limitation but i'm wondering how long they can continue with it.

The Google data APIs ("GData" for short) provide a simple standard protocol for reading and writing data on the web. GData combines common XML-based syndication formats (Atom and RSS) with a feed-publishing system based on the Atom publishing protocol, plus some extensions for handling queries. GData is a new protocol based on Atom 1.0 and RSS 2.0. To acquire information from a service that supports GData, you send an HTTP GET request; the service returns results as an Atom or RSS feed. You can update data (where supported by a particular GData service) by sending an HTTP PUT request, an approach based on the Atom Publishing Protocol. All sorts of services can provide GData feeds, from public services like blog feeds or news syndication feeds to personalized data like email or calendar events or task-list items. The RSS and Atom models are extensible, so each feed provider can define its own extensions and semantics as desired. A feed provider can provide read-only feeds (such as a search-results feed) or read/write feeds (such as a calendar application).  For example, a blogging application might provide a feed for each blog, and a comment feed for each blog entry. A calendar application might allow you to send full-text search queries using the GData protocol, and return results in the GData syndication format.  Because GData is built on basic technologies—HTTP and common syndication models—you can send GData requests and process the resulting feeds in a variety of ways: traditional syndication aggregators/feed readers, JavaScript/AJAX-based clients in a web browser, standalone applications, or any other approach you like. The GData protocol is language-neutral; you can write a client in any programming language that lets you issue HTTP requests and parse XML-based responses. Creating and deleting a feed is left up to the service; the GData protocol does not provide ways to create or delete a feed.
