Microsoft Hotmail has been around us for ages and there are many users.

I, for example have been a “Hotmail user” for over 8 years now. I have seen the Hotmail service go through a tough phase when I had a mailbox with only 10 MB space.

Then, the service was renamed to Live Mail and later the things have been improving.

Now, I will be telling you the change that I have loved the most with the new Microsoft Hotmail: its Microsoft SkyDrive

Microsoft SkyDrive enables the user to create Microsoft Office Documents online (or on the cloud….technically).

With SkyDrive, you can create, view, share and download the Microsoft Office Documents, right from your Hotmail Account.

I created a sample Microsoft Word document online and the online editor was just like the Desktop version of Microsoft 2007 editor.It was fairly easy to use and you can download the document you have created as well as you can share it with other users.

Below is the screen-shot of the Microsoft Office Online Document in action from my Hotmail Account:

Microsoft Office in Action via Hotmail

It was a really nice experience to use the Microsoft Office online…….It can be particularly useful when you come across a computer with no Microsoft Office Suite installed. You can use the online service for creating documents, presentations and spreadsheets.

That was my nice experience with Hotmail…..how was yours……tell me via comments…..and I read and reply every comment….

And please don’t even think that I have been paid to promote the service as I am an independent blogger and will say what is true.

Thanks for reading my article on my blog.

Bluetooth – How to use and most importantly, use safely…..

Bluetooth today is found on almost all mobile phones sold around the world (except the ones which do not have color screens and are really cheap). Bluetooth is used for file-sharing between mobile phones as well as with PC’s.

But bluetooth is vulnerable as well as you have to keep in mind that one incorrect step might get your mobile phone hacked…..

There are many programs available on the internet which can hack into your phone via bluetooth and then the hacker can make calls / spy, read all your messages and phonebook etc. So, security while using bluetooth is an very important aspect….

Mobile phones with bluetooth have a visibility option as well as you are able to restrict the incoming connections by checking the names of the devices.

The following steps are important to keep your phone secure:

1. Visibility must be off when you are not using your phone to receive any files…

2. Also check out the name of the device you are going to connect. There might be many devices active, and choosing the wrong device might put your security at risk…

3. *Always* use a Pass-Key……Using a pass key authenticates and verifies the connection on both the ends so that no other device can connect to your phone until the passkey is correct…

So,take care while using bluetooth and stay secure….

Happy sharing…..
