Microsoft had made an Internet Explorer 9 Platform Preview available on its “test drive” website: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/
Normally, I would not post about pre-beta versions of new software since they tend to be very buggy and not always easy to uninstall. However, there is likely to be quite a bit of buzz about IE9 and I wanted to post some caveats about this release:
- it is not a full-fledged browser. It is intended for the use of Web developers so they can get a first-hand look at new technologies.
- there is no address bar or Back button. Again, this release is not to be used for daily web browsing.
- there will be a public beta once development of IE9 has progressed to the point to where it can be released as such. Still, I caution against trying beta software, especially Internet Explorer since it is so tightly integrated into Windows itself.
The above is taken from the FAQ on IE9 here.

Hi, Awesome blog you have here. I wanted to let you all know that I think Twitter is going to be one of the stronger networks because of the fact that it is supported by so many industries. I also think when Twitter introduces some of it’s new features, returning traffic will go up to show the real growth of the network.
Anyway, I build a blog that gives away great resources for Twitter that are 100% free, so come and visit and don’t be a stranger.
Keep up the great work!
