Messaging hub changes!
As you might have guessed from yesterdays blog post. Today's mango feature is the new improved and very shiny Messages hub! Now when you go to the messages hub and start a conversation with someone you now have the added options of messaging them over MSN if they're online there. Over Facebook chat, if they happen to be on Facebook, or if they're offline on both MSN and Facebook (they might be dead if that's the case with my friends) all messages sent will instead be sent as text messages! If they suddenly come back online on either service without having to do anything any of your messages will go to these instead!
The neat thing here is you get to keep the WHOLE conversation (not just snippets that happened to be the texting part) in your threaded messaging hub all together. The only thing I'm confused about is if they are both online on Facebook and on MSN at the same time I'm assuming that we will have a choice of WHICH to message them on and don't spam them from both sides at once (now doesn't that sound unpleasant.... )
Man hubs rock don't they?

Filler Post. Nothing to see here...
So once again I have run out of things to blog about. All the apps I want I already have and already use and have already reviewed. There have been no new updates since my last "Update Review" so there's nothing to see there. None of you readers have made any suggestions for topics so I've decided to do something that everyone else has already done, talk about mango.
Everywhere you look on the internet (at least everywhere you look while searching for information about Windows Phone 7) you see posts about Mango this, Mango that. So I realized, if you can't beat em, join em! Of course, knowing me, I'll put a BIT of a my own spin on it.
So for the benefit of the new guy I'll start off with the answer to, "What is Mango?". Well first off it's a tasty citrus and is great in smoothies, more importantly though its the code name Microsoft has given to the next major WP7 update. Actually its closer to making it Windows Phone 7.5 (this thing really blows NoDo out of the water). According to Microsoft there are over FIVE HUNDRED new features added. How many exactly will the end user (Read: You) notice? Actually most of them, and this is where my idea kicks in. Each day I will make a Micro-Post about one new feature I've noticed!
Be warned in advance, I'm lazy and forgetful. Days WILL be missed. Also, I have no idea as of yet how long I will continue doing this. It may be 500 posts and go long into the lifespan of Mango or might only be this post and like two or three more. You'll just have to keep coming back to find out!

App Review: Project Emporia
Ever get tired of scrolling through Google news for something you actually care about? Have a few different topics you like to stay informed on but really don't care what Charlie Sheen is up to? Have I ever got an app for you! It's called, "Project Emporia" and its a news reader app for Windows Phone 7.
Emporia lets you save a couple different (or if you're like me a lot of) topics then feeds you any news or interesting tidbits of info including blog posts that pertain to said topic.
Find an article you really like and emporia has a couple things you can do with it. First off you can save it so no matter how long ago you read it it's on your phone for you to show your friends, your coworkers, your dog or the waitress at that club you like. Also if you have a twitter account you can tweet about it right from the app! Living in the dark ages and don't have a twitter account? No worries! So long as you gave an email account synched with your phone (you've done THAT right?) you can email a link to the article to someone you know... Or don't know and can guess at an email address.
All in all its pretty snazzy and seems really polished. The only real thing I see it missing is the option to share via Facebook. That would be swell.
Go get it!
