Not a lot of people know this but Windows Live Messenger now has access to your favorite websites.
With the Windows Live Favorites tab, it keeps your favorite web sites at your fingertips!
You do not even have to open a web browser and start looking for the item you want. Just flip over to the Live Favorites tab in Messenger and start typing. Your favorites list is instantly filtered as you type, narrowing down the list to exactly what you want.
If you are not using it yet go ahead and import your current bookmarks from Internet Explorer!
Very cool!
Enjoy.
