Sign up with Microsoft's New Social Networking site: Windows Live Planet

This may be old news for some people who uses MSN regularly, I'm not sure that how many are aware of Microsoft's New Social Networking site - Windows Live Planet. It's an online Network that helps you to connect with your friends, make new friends and chat with them online.



Windows Live Planet is similar to other Social Networking sites but with new design and fast user interface.

Features :

1. It has integration of Windows Live Messenger with the Windows Live Planet service. You can chat with your MSN friends at bottom left side corner of the window.

2. It has something called Scribble pad (remembers me the Scrapbook feature of Orkut), you can scribble your friends up to 150 characters in length.

3. Good looking Design and User Interface.



4. It can tell you how much you "Match" with your friends, which any other social networking site doesn't tell you!

5. Most of the controls and features are fast and I'm loving it!

6. The website uses Windows Live Hotmail account to login, so no need to create an account.

7. You can invite all your friends from other social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace , LinkedIn or you can invite them using email contacts.

All you need to do is complete your profile and Windows Live Planet will open up a whole new world!

Then what can you do, Going to type the whole text part by referring to the image ?? Well, it's simple.

Here I'm going to give you Two simple ways by which you can copy the text from the images.

1. JOCR, Using this small but powerful utility JOCR you can copy text from any images.

JOCR is a freeware application that enables you to capture the image on the screen and convert the captured image to text. It is useful to revive the protected files whose text can not be copied. JOCR enables you to copy text from any files and images on the screen such as protected Web pages, PDF files, error messages. The program offers several capture modes.



JOCR requires Microsoft Office 2003 or higher version.

If JCOR does not work, please manually install "Micorosoft Office Document Imaging" (MODI) that is included in the setup file of Microsoft Office. You can find MODI under "Office Tools" of the setup file.

2. You can Copy Text from Images through Microsoft Office OneNote.
