LiveSide, an independent news and information site focusing on Windows Live, is well known for being first with the best and most exclusive dirt on the Microsoft online initiative. Started in January 2006, two months after Windows Live was first announced, LiveSide features interviews with Microsoft product team members and hosts the definitive list of Windows Live employee blogs and sites.
LiveSide authors Kip Kniskern, Chris Overd, and Harrison Hoffman are all former Windows Live MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals), and along with current MVP Scott Lovegrove, Cornelia Koopmans, John Hsu, and contributions from our dev guys, the LiveSide team is well versed in all things Windows Live. In February of 2006, Microsoft Watch called LiveSide's writers “sneaky geniuses,” and it’s become our unofficial motto. While we don’t always please Microsoft PR, LiveSide is considered, both inside Microsoft and beyond, to be the authority on Windows Live.
