3 new Windows Live Writer plugins

Windows Live Writer team just unveiled 3 new Windows Live Writer plugins.They are

DiggThis- Automatically add DiggThis button to your post, for ease of ‘digging’ purpose

Twitter Notify -Automatically pass or ‘tweet’ your blog post to Twitter. If you’re Wordpress user, it works like Twitter Tool by Alex King

Flickr Uploader - The coolest I think. Any images on your blog post will be uploaded to Flickr. Great!!

Not using Windows Live Writer just yet? Get the new Windows Live Writer 2009 (release candidate) which included all 3 plugins above as well as other new features.

Personally I’ve been using Windows Live Writer quite often after running some testing over it few weeks back. It is awesome tool for blogging. Highly recommended.

Google Chrome - Beta no more

Barely 100 days released in Beta mode, Chrome has been officially released from Beta (stark contrast to Gmail which in Beta since introduced in 2004). And the main reason behind the removal of beta label is the better stability and  performance that Chrome had achieved so far.

Ironically, Firefox had just released its 3.1 Beta Release 2 version few days back. Whether this is merely coincident, or the timing issue, between this 2 competing internet browsers are unknown. But undeniably, Chrome has made significant impact to Firefox. With 10 millions download in 100 days, and the fact that it is quite popular among geeks and blogger which help spread the words faster is surely turn every attention to Chrome

On 5th release, Google claim that Chrome promising stability, greater performance, speedy, secured and better privacy control. Additionally better bookmark features has been introduced with import & export features.

RSS support will be added in near future, even though you can now click the RSS button to subscribe the content in RSS reader successfully, without being shown a ‘weird looking’ web page.

Overall, Chrome is incredibly fast (they got benchmark), but I’m still waiting for ‘ads block’ feature available, before I’ll using it more frequent that I’m now.
