SpiceBird A New Mozilla Product

Collaboration is much beyond e-mail communication – it’s a process where individuals work together to achieve a common goal. Apart from having e-mail, instant messaging and group calendaring, an ideal collaboration system should make ‘working together’ possible – like creating a proposal, launching a new product, developing software, managing group knowledge and publishing websites even while working from different continents. Spicebird – the collaboration suite developed by us, creates a platform to do precisely that. In addition, Spicebird makes customization easy and ensures that the software can be adapted to your business collaboration needs.

If you are here looking for the roadmap of Spicebird or to download it, please take a look at this blog post. Check out a preview of Spicebird 0.3 alpha:
Spicebird Demo
It’s supposed to be a way to Integrate Email, Instant Messaging, Calendar, and Blogging into one little program. I am quite curious about this little product and trying to get into the beta to see if it is all that. It also has RSS feed reader, and Message tagging. So I thought people would like to see this for themselves.

Microsoft Using YouTube To Promote Vista & Live, Leaves Comments Open

Microsoft has taken its marketing push for Windows Vista and Windows Live into enemy territory by offering demonstration videos on YouTube (example above). The new channel (link) was launched December 21.

The content itself isn’t all that exciting, but they do demonstrate various positive aspects of Vista and Live that viewers may not be aware of. The more interesting aspect is that Microsoft would use the Google owned YouTube for such as promotion; it certainly demonstrates just how powerful the market position of YouTube has become over the last 2 years that Microsoft would use it to promote their products.
