I’ve downloaded their free software, and trying it out by using the layout and importing some photos for a client project. It is dead easy to make a book and once you’re done, click pricing and send the file to them. They’ll send you the printed copy. Either one or as many as you like. Publishing was never so easy.

After releasing IE6 back in August of 2001 and seemingly winning the browser wars, Microsoft took a long break from making any advancement in their web browsing software. It wasn’t until late 2006 that they finally introduced the much needed upgrade IE7. But at this point, although still retaining the largest portion of the browser market, they have been playing technological catch-up to new browsers like Firefox, Safari, Opera and most recently Chrome, all of whom have been slowly but surely taking away from Internet Explorer’s dominance.

Not wanting to make the same mistake twice, rather than wait another 5 years, Microsoft has come out with another upgrade just over 2 years after the release of IE7. As of Thursday at noon Internet Explorer 8 was made available for download. This time rather than playing catch up Microsoft is trying to move back to the head of the pack, with improvements to tabbed browsing (if you don’t know what this is you must be one of the few still holding on to IE6 and some web developers in Norway might have something to say about this), faster rendering of web pages, better security and some interesting new features called ‘accelerators’ and ‘slices’.

Check out a review of Microsoft’s new IE8 web browser.

Testimonial from a client who uses this service:

I started on Linkedin last Monday. I have worked at this pretty steady now everyday since. I now have 50 members in my group. With “their” connections I have 5900 contacts. In my network I have 699,600 people. When you get a good contact, 9 times out of 10 they will have great contacts as well. I can also do a mass email to all my members if I want as well. Anytime I post something in any group, there is an email that is generated to all members of that group, saying that I just posted a comment.

Their are options that I can have my profile viewed on other Linkedin countries. I chose Thailand and China for starters. I now belong to business groups that are hooked into Thailand as a result. This is working out great! Most of the people in here are professionals who are looking for contacts. Thats the scoop!! Talk to you soon!
