As you know, Clubhouse is a place where one shares stories and tips through the blog. It started with Windows Live but now have added Windows Vista and Windows 7 related posts.
For more info, official rules about the Award can be checked at Windows Community Clubhouse Spaces- Announcing the Clubhouse Choice Awards!
The blog posts from my blog LiveViews are featured in Microsoft Clubhouse.
This is kind of brag !! Yes, it is. I was very pleased to see my Spaces blog (LiveViews) posts getting advertised on Windows Live Hotmail. I knew about Windows Live ClubHouse members’ posts being displayed as ads on Hotmail main page, but today only I saw my ads being displayed.
That was the bigger ad, and the smaller ad also shows my ad.
I refreshed the Hotmail Page many times to find many of such different ads being cycled and put on the Hotmail page. Thanks Windows Live ! Thanks Clubhouse ! Join the Windows Live Community Now !
