Microsoft has just introduced a public beta of Windows Live Suite, a set of communications and social networking tools and web services. I’m using the Windows Live Writer component to write this blog entry.
It’s easy to 
add pictures (you can edit your photos with the new Windows Live Photo Gallery),add a table (this one’s in honor of an old Sci-Fi book series I enjoyed)…
| My name | My nation | My game | My destination |
| Michael Mars | America | space flying | Mars |
insert a map…
I can insert tags from Technorati, 43 Things, and other services, and videos too…
I’m going to like this service!
