August 20 Found on Facebook
I'm on Facebook, and it seems a ton of people I know are too. Not just my current friends, but folks I knew reaching way back into my college days. It's definitely a cool way to find and connect with both new and old friends. One of the things I recently found on Facebook is the whole "Become a Fan" thing. You can become a fan of products, TV shows, politicians, websites, and the list goes on and on. Being a Windows Live guy, I searched for Windows Live products to see what was there. Did you know there is a Windows Live Messenger page with 425,336 fans? That is, at least at the time I wrote this post. That's almost as many fans as Facebook itself has! Wow! I also found a Windows Vista page with 9,900 fans. What are your thoughts on Facebook? I know a lot of people start out on it and get a bit of Facebook fatigue after a while. I kind of count myself in that camp, but I'm starting to look at it again, especially with their recent redesign. - Marcus August 14 Podcast: GIVE Live
The two employees are Karan Parkash and Eric Kamont. Karan posted more details about the work they did, along with a video of their demo up here. In this podcast, I talked with both of them via telephone to get more details on GIVE Live and how anyone can use their approach to keep in touch with someone else across the globe.

Do you wish that was you out there swimming, cycling, running, or diving? As part of Microsoft's overall celebration of this year's Olympic Games, the Windows Live team in the US has created this fun site called Reveal Your Inner Athlete. You run through a quick quiz, and then the site tells you what your inner athlete is. You can even upload your own picture of your very own head, and then share your inner athlete with your friends. Mine turned out to be a tennis player:
Why not give it a try? And after you're done, check out Quikboy's post about some of the other stuff Microsoft is doing, plus John Kavanagh's post about Olympics add-on to Windows Media Center. Enjoy the games, August 07 Podcast: Talking about Windows Live Photo Gallery
As you snap all those digital photos, I thought it would be a great time for me to sit down with JP Wollersheim, a Senior Product Manager here at Microsoft who works on Windows Live Photo Gallery, and learn a bit more about that product. Hopefully you'll find some inspiration here to try Photo Gallery as a solution for downloading, organizing, and sharing all those great vacation pictures!

They have also created various celebrity characters as well, albeit some with a decidedly UK flair. Matt has blogged about some of the top celeb downloads. Give it a go and create that miniature version of yourself you've always wanted! - Marcus
