Blog This for Firefox plugin/add-on for Microsoft Live Writer in the gallery was surprisingly developed by Microsoft aka MSWindowsLiveGallery. Either way, it’s impressive that Microsoft did a good job of it too. Way to go… It nestles all nice and snug to in the right hand corner of your window (see image).

Holy Shit! Microsoft Does Finally Do Something Right.
I’m a “Student” in the same sense that we are all students, learning everyday through RSS feeds, Social Interactions, Wikipedia, etc. So give me a copy for $60 please!
Microsoft will begin offering Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 for students for the amazing price of just sixty dollars. This special offer for students only represents a $620 discount off the retail price of $680, a 91% savings.

Going portable is always great. The fact that someone created a Windows Live Writer Portable is even greater news as I would love to sync my drafts and well, this seems like a great and easy way to do it.

So, apparently Microsoft’s Live Translator is now up and active in Beta form (although there are some problems with it still). However, now it seems that Microsoft is just on the catch-up-to-Google game and doing a bad job. Interesting though, the Translation of the Web Site features:

I kind of was expecting Live Writer to come out of Beta, but I suppose it could be a good thing that it didn’t. Either way, I’m excited, since this is my primary blogging tool.
***Microsoft Sneaks in the Windows Live installation into the installation….
Some highlights of this release:

I have the beta of Microsoft Silverlight and read that the new version is out, so first, naturally, I went to silverlight.com, which is not Microsoft’s Silverlight, then I went to silverlight.live.com, which is for getting a Silverlight Streaming account, finally after a quick Google search, the correct site is: http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/, to which I get this error…
Pressing OK, does nothing, the page remains blank… Nice one Microsoft, nice one…
This search engine is pretty amazing and is based on the lightweight Microsoft Silverlight. Here is a screenshot of the sexy search engine tafiti:
Tafiti searches includes:
My favorite aspect of tafiti is the “glass shelf” (and not the abundant usage of all lowercase letters)… As the Post it Note Says:
After placing the items in the “glass shelf” you can label items, then look at the individual items on a case by case basis. The options that follow from there are:
It’s a rough start, but it’s definitely a new way of search. Now for the “dorky” aspect, press the “Tree” at the top of the Web Search Results
and behold the Tree of Search Results:
The image above actually spins and using the slide of the bottom can “grow” or “shrink” the tree/search results. Dorky but definitely not necessary.
Anyway, this is the first start of something useful and for the public from Silverlight that seems to have been “released”. I expect in a few months from now a slew of true Web 2.0 Silverlight Applications.
First, I only discovered after I downloaded Microsoft Live Writer that it was Beta 2 a week later. Apparently, it doesn’t say anything on the site, but according to the Microsoft Live Writer Blog, it’s the new version. Either way, I’m glad I didn’t have to bother with the old version. Anyway, the purpose of this 
post, is because I got a Comment! Woo! I love Comments! Figured, it was an interesting tip to share:
“Last week I discovered (by accident) that if you right click on a pic in Flickr and select Copy Link Location (NOT Image Location) you can CTRL-V it straight into Live Writer - AND it correctly copies the ?alt? info as well.
When I typed in an ?alt? tag directly into WLW it was not appearing on my Wordpress blog (not Wordpress.com). Now it does.”
Thank you David for Reading and Commenting!
In one fell swoop I can enter in my username, the search by photo sets (I break everything into sets), then choose the picture size and any attributes, then insert! Woo!Oh Microsoft Live Writer, why has Microsoft done something right again. Looks like I’ll have to create a new category for Microsoft now… hmm, perhaps it should be called “Microsoft does something right”. The plugin for Microsoft Live Writer “Insert Flickr Image” is in this hyperlink. Hope it works, I’m also going to use the Digg Live Writer plugin, and according to a recent article and ruling, which I will adhere to, Digg Spam Sucks, I will just use this for totally “original” content! Which this is…
