Cloud storage tools allows you to Store all your files, Sync & Share those file and with much more functionalities.
I have earlier written about the Online file storage tools, but this post is exclusively about Cloud Storage tools along with Desktop Folder Application.
These tools are designed to be extraordinarily simple to use and there is major difference between the way these two tools operate from the rest
Desktop Storage Application – You need to download the Desktop Application, and you can store all your files in the desktop folder and share it from any device
Synchronization : Storing a file in your Desktop Folder (Zumodrive/Dropbox) can be accessed from any other machine (Via Cloud Storage Drive: User Name/Password)
I am fan of Dropbox, the most elegant Web 2.0 tool that I have seen so far with simple drag and drop option at an optimal speed.
Few weeks back I wrote an article on “How to create a mobile version of your blog”, this article must have benefited many, since every blogger wants a mobile version of their blog – It’s a feeling

Bing – The Decision Engine: Bing is Microsoft’s attempt to tap the Market, outside the Business front. Though, Bing is not Microsoft’s answer to Google, it definitely deserves a Try for its good Interface. Infact Bing had given me good Image search results. MSN Homepage Makeover: The Long resisted MSN’s Confusing Homepage is no more. The Big daddy of Business Applications is back with a Bang.
MSN Home Page gets a complete makeover which is visually pleasing with an excellent user friendly Interface and the best part of the homepage is its color – White (Most of the Successful Web brands prefer to stick to white)
New MSN homepage is more social –Your Twitter, Face book accounts can be accessed and Updated through the homepage. The homepage is well segmented for different genres – New, Entertainment, Sports, Money, Lifestyle …
Thank god, there is no Microsoft’s – Twitter Version: I believe Microsoft must have strongly resisted itself from releasing its Twitter Version. For more than a Decade, Microsoft had been experimenting in social web resulting with numerous fiascos.
Good that Microsoft did not attempt to clown Twitter – This had prevented Microsoft from a self mockery
