A lot of people nowadays have Twitter accounts, a Facebook account etc. and if you’re reading this then I’m also assuming you have a Windows Live account and some interest in Windows Live Services. Each of these have their own “Personal Message” where you can tell people what you are currently doing and there-in lies the problem. You have to visit each of these places to update them individually. Why not have a central place where you can update them all?

The good news is that you can. There are various ways of doing this, whether through a website or a Silverlight application. Basically anything that can use web services. With Microsoft’s recent introduction of the Windows Live Web Toolbar, I thought I’d do just that and show you how easy it is.  I will be building upon my previous articles regarding the new Windows Live controls so please go check them out if you haven’t already as I’ve discussed a lot of the code present in this mashup in previous articles.
