Cloud computing is becoming ever more popular and important to desktop and mobile operating systems alike. We’ve previously looked at how Windows 8 will integrate with cloud services, but how does its mobile brother, Windows Phone 7, deal with this method of storage?
Remarkably well, in fact. By default, Windows Phone owners must set up a Windows Live account with their phones and this offers automatic integration with the SkyDrive service, particularly useful for uploading photos and storing documents from Microsoft Office Online. Other cloud-based apps are available for Windows Phone, however, offering storage for different types of data.

Facebook has, without a doubt, become the most popular social network in the world. While I’m cheering on Google + just like lots of you are, I don’t think I’ll ever quit checking on the Facebook status updates of my family and friends – at least, not unless they leave Facebook in droves. That’s not likely to happen anytime soon.
One thing that I’ve noticed when I talk to friends that initially start using Facebook is that “nobody comments on my wall.”  Sometimes, I’ll even try to help them out by letting them show me their Facebook wall and trying to help them understand what they’re doing wrong, and why people may not feel encouraged to comment on their status updates.

Sometimes, it’s just a matter of reciprocating. People expect that friends and family will flock to their wall after every status update.
