Microsoft Corp. this week introduced enhancements to its Windows Live portal, the entry point for users to access its Web-based services.
New features include a "gadget" that recommends television shows and the integration of images into Live.com RSS feeds, according to several bloggers who were present when Microsoft introduced them at its Search Champs event. Microsoft uses the term "gadget" to refer to mini-applications, usually appearing as a small screen, that are available on a desktop or Web page and provide a shortcut to useful information or some other user enhancement to an application or service.
