Microsoft has uploaded a new video to the company’s Windows Phone YouTube page, showcasing one of Cortana’s key features. With Cortana, you can keep up to date on things that are interesting to you. Cortana can send you timely notifications for those interests, so you don’t miss a beat on stuff that you care about the most.

You canadd or remove interests, turn updates and notifications on and off, and more from Cortana’s Notebook. Cortana’s Notebook already comes with some default interests, such as the weather near you, the latest headline news, a trip planner, getting around, and daily glance. You can easily turn off these interests and add your own.

For example, you can add a daily routine or a sports team to follow and Cortana can keep you in the loop whenever there is an update. Want to track your favorite sports team and their scores? Cortana can do that for you!

We’ve embedded the video below for your viewing pleasure. For those of you who are running Windows Phone 8.1, which comes with Cortana, let us know if you have toyed around with this new feature and if you have been using it to keep up to date on things that matter the most to you.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
