With some of the Connectors already available for us window 7 beta users I’ve managed to take a few for a spin and I’m quite impressed.  You can custom search Flickr in all sorts of interesting and new ways right from your browser. Enter your search and up pops a preview pane button in the upper right you can preset how you want the results displayed and sorted, ascending descending, date taken, date posted, whether you find it interesting or not. Limited only by your imagination.

Connectors are available for your with, Twitter, Yahoo MSN, Google News, Google blogs and in Windows 7 once these connectors are installed it’s a simple matter of right under your favorites you can delete or rename them it will and you can save a specific search right under the address bar.  Kind of a Google Alert and Trends combined at the hip. Powerful, functional and customizable. Connectors are being developed independently around the Globe. Here’s a few to grab now.
