Live Search helps you find the products you want... and then gives you a discount!

You can admit it, you're the type of person that likes to research a new gadget online before you rush to the store to pick one up. You often know more than the salesperson that's trying to "help" you choose the best model (also known as most expensive if he's commission based)... and you probably even do your fair share of Internet shopping.

So why not get a little extra something for your efforts? That's how the new Live Search Cashback program works. Simply create an account and then all you have to do is search for the products you want, shop with the provided results, and (as Stefan would say) BOOM you save!

Check it out and tell us what you think...

Microsoft hits it big on Webware's top 100 Web Applications for 2008

The voting is complete and the winners are posted from Webware's top 100 web apps chosen by the community (that's you!). The list is full of really great products and services that I have found to be invaluable tools for everyday Internet use. It was also nice to see some of Microsoft's recent advancements in the online space on some of the top 10 lists. Zune side by side with Pandora. Live Search up there with Google. Windows Live next to Skype and Yahoo! Mail.

Some of these services are pretty new have had rocky starts but are definitely contenders today as can be seen by how the community feels. If you haven't checked out Live Search lately, give it a shot. The results are MUUUUUCH better than they used to be and it has actually become my homepage. I personally use Pandora all the time but have augmented my music knowledge-base considerably with the Zune Social capabilities.

This is pure speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if Live Mesh took a few winner's slots in the near future :)
