There are a plethora of ways you can unload your unwanted wares for cash. Some of the more popular online options include eBay and Craigslist, though the emergence of apps such as LetGo and Wallapop are gaining traction. As if all that weren't enough, Facebook is entering the arena of classified sales with Marketplace, a place where you can buy and sell items with people in your vicinity. The advantage Facebook has is its massive community of users. Facebook is up to more than 1.7 billion monthly active users, which translates into a lot of eyeballs.

Microsoft is in the process of rolling out some major changes to its official Windows Phone website. The new look and feel will be rolled out in Australia and New Zealand initially and will work its way around the world in the coming weeks. With the new site, you'll see a cleaner design and some new menu options such as News which provides information about Windows Phone-related news and announcements. One of the biggest changes taking place however, is the retiring of the name Marketplace. Instead, the online store will be known as the Windows Phone Store. Part of the reasoning behind this is to keep some common ground with Windows 8 and its Windows Store for apps and games. In fact, the Windows...

According to the post, the problem only affected recently-added apps on phones that had been upgraded to Windows Phone 7.5.

According to one report, Microsoft’s app store known as the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace may now have 25,000 applications. In comparison to Apple’s App Store, this figure may not sound like much. The Windows Phone App List claims the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace has 25,076 applications. According to WP7applist, however, the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace only has 24,878 applications, and 4,044 of those applications are “inactive.” Regardless, one thing is clear: the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace is growing. When Microsoft launched Windows Phone 7 last year, the marketplace had only 1,000 applications. By March, the store had reached 11,500 applications. Although the Windows Phone...

It's no secret that Microsoft's Marketplace is struggling in comparison to Apple's App Store or Google's Android Market. If you browse through these three online application stores, you'll see that Apple and Google have many more applications to offer compared to Microsoft. In fact, Apple has about 225,000 apps and Google has 65,000 in their respective app stores. To make matters worse for Microsoft, because the software giant is completely overhauling its mobile OS, programs developed for previous generations of the software won't work on Windows Phone 7. In other words, Microsoft is starting from scratch. Microsoft is working hard on its upcoming mobile OS known as Windows Phone 7, and the...
