Office Live Workspace - first feature update goes live - LiveSide - News blog
"Office Live Workspace launched last December and just got its first update, what's new:
A new Activity pane to help you keep track of what’s happening in your workspaces and email notifications so you always know when the people you share with make updates. This feature is a lot of fun and makes it easy to see at glance the changes happening in your workspace and in individual documents. Now you’ll know when someone comments on your document, adds a note, or updates an important list.
New support for adding multiple documents to your workspaces. The Add multiple documents button makes it is easier than ever to bring your documents into a workspace by browsing and selecting files from your computer or dragging and dropping files on the document uploader.
New permalinks for sharing direct hyperlinks to your workspaces and documents. Now you can bookmark individual workspaces and items in your workspace using the “add to favorites” tool in your web browser or copy the address bar and paste those links into emails to share with others.
A new Share workspace UI to easily invite others to your workspace. With the improved address book buttons you can quickly add people from your Windows Live addresses book (contacts from Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger) and people you have shared with before. You can also include more details in your invitation with the larger message box and choose to CC yourself on the invitation.
Besides these, other fixes and improvements have been made and the Office Live add-in has been updated."

Driven to Distraction
Quest For The Best: Driven to Distraction ERE Blog Network:
"Did you catch the “Tide to Go” Super Bowl Spot? Talk about a commercial that speaks directly to recruiters (and candidates.) A young man dressed in a white shirt and tie begins an interview. The interviewer starts with a question, but when the candidate speaks, the interviewer’s attention is riveted to the obvious stain on his white shirt. Every time the candidate begins, the stain screams. The stain’s screaming is unintelligible, but its volume completely over powers anything the candidate says and continues to get louder. The candidate can’t get his message across. The interviewer can’t hear anything but the stain. The stain wins."

Ten Ways to Use LinkedIn
How to Change the World: Ten Ways to Use LinkedIn
The average number of LinkedIn connections for people who work at Google is forty-seven.
The average number for Harvard Business School grads is fifty-eight, so you could skip the MBA, work at Google, and probably get most of the connections you need. Later, you can hire Harvard MBAs to prepare your income taxes.
People with more than twenty connections are thirty-four times more likely to be approached with a job opportunity than people with less than five.
All 500 of the Fortune 500 are represented in LinkedIn. In fact, 499 of them are represented by director-level and above employees.

A Dream Come True - Another reason to work at Microsoft
Microsoft's JobsBlog : A Dream Come True:
"Some of you might remember this, during our all hands for the Give campaign I talked about my dream about providing free healthcare to the poor people in the city I grew up. During my stay in Bangladesh this time, I was finally able to turn this dream into reality. With the help of a non-profit organization called Distressed Children International, through which I also sponsor 10 children in Bangladesh, I was able to setup a free health care center for local people who live in slums and can’t afford healthcare although it’s extremely cheap."
