Microsoft is now pushing into the wonderful world of Personal webpages….yet again. There are some nice features. You can create a game, a mashup, or a webpage, and share with everyone, but this comes in a little late in the game. Google Pages with their Gears and Yahoo’s 360 have dominated this space for some time. The only way I think this product can make it big is if a FREE (yes, I said free) tool/plug-in incoroprates Popfly services into Windows OS and Office Suites. Also, allow users to create games using their choice of tools and upload to the Game hosting service.
Microsoft comes up with some wonderful services, but just like Yahoo it somehow messes up when the time has come to pull it all together and show the unified story. Anywho, jump to the link and try it out yourself. Who knows, may be this fits your fancy :)

Kosmix: The web organized for you
Looking to explore a subject? a news story? the latest-and-greatest? Kosmix might serve you better than traditional search engines. Results on this search engine seem to target the search results from ALL OVER the internet. Unlike Google and Yahoo, who try to give you the one perfect match to your query at top and less-likely matches thereon; Kosmix organizes everything it can find about your query, and list the top-hits in categories. For example, searching for Chocolates gives you a result page where google results for chocolates are in a box, results specific to blogs are in another box, images, videos, shopping, facts, etc. is also organized in a box.
It’s a nice idea. I would use it when I’m trying to find a wide array of information about a topic rather than the one ultimate Web site that has every info.
Give it a try. Here are some search terms to begin with: Bollywood, Muffins, Yosemite, DOS, Fart
