APP: Microsoft TechCompanion
Two days ago (12/3/2013), Microsoft published a new APP called Microsoft Tech Companion with the objective of helping the IT Professional to be up to date with the latest news, articles, blogs posts, tweets and wikis of the technology we want. How? This APP brings us the possibility to customize a feed for the product AND VERSION we want, where we can indicate the sources of the info to be reached including tweets, blog posts, articles and/or news regarding the chosen product.
Of course we can have several feeds configured and pin them to our home screen (in the case of Windows Phone and Windows 8) to get the most of the Live Tile feature.
By the way, in order to do so, you must use a Microsoft Account to log in (Live, Outlook, etc…) and remember your preferences.
You don’t want to setup a feed? The APP will show us all the latest news of any Microsoft Products.
If what we need is to search something in particular …
We have a search screen with an included history button if we search something recurrent and avoid us of typing it again, but for recovering or getting back to an interesting article we can always bookmark it ;).
This APP is available for Windows Phone, Windows 8, Android and IOS.
