What exactly is the "What's new" feed?

You never know what your friends might be up to...that's where the "What's new" feed comes in

Posting, chatting, tweeting, digging, flickring, scrobbling, liking, blogging, rocking, looping, flixing, IM-ing, listening, swapping, tagging, friending, uploading, downloading, adding, finding…

You and your friends are doing so much online that it's becoming impossible to keep track of it all. Loads of logins, sending and receiving the same status updates for a whole range of different networks, and wondering which service is the most accessible to all of your friends so you can upload your latest photo gallery for all to see — it’s a lot to deal with .

For many of us, it can become all too hard and tedious — that is, unless you've discovered the Windows Live What's New feed , which takes away all the unnecessary browser-hopping and sends you live updates on what your friends are doing across a wide range of social networks and services.

It's easy for you to make sure all of your friends know what you're up to as well by using the Web Activities function. Just click on the Web Activities tab on the left side of your Live Profile and select the social networks and services you use and would like your friends to receive updates on. You might want them to know what you're listening to on Last.Fm, receive every single Tweet (no matter how questionable) or grab their attention next time you upload a new photo gallery to Flickr.

The choices are up to you. Download it now, and stay connected to all your friends with the new Windows Live.

Learn how to sync Windows Live with the partners of your choice.
