Announcing Live.com Beta
Looks familiar doesn't it? for those of you that are familiar with
start.com,
live.com will strike a resemblance - well it's the same development team and we've been learning what you, our users, want through start.com within the past 9 months (
start.com/1 was released 9 months ago)
Live.com is currently a Beta - this means that you may experience some glitches from time to time or features may not be fully polished or complete. but we're hoping you're willing to bear a few glitches and partial features in exchange for seeing your thoughts and ideas implemented as fast as we can. Most of our ideas come from your feedback, so please send us
feedback.
some of the things you can do on live today:
mail inbox
