Get the gifts you want this Christmas

Christmas is rapidly approaching and if you want to help your last-minute gift-buying friends from giving up and buying you a sub-standard game or a novelty clock, then check out The Cool Wall, just launched by Microsoft.

The Cool Wall allows you to create your own virtual Christmas list to show your friends and family which gifts you most want - and which you’d really rather manage without.

It’s built using Microsoft Silverlight technology, and incorporates Live Search as the basis for generating results for the drag-and-drop features of the software. Simply populate the wall with results from Live Search and save the collection to send to friends and family.
