Linked Live IDs Getting Pushed On Windows Live Spaces

Posted Aug 06 2008, 12:25 AM by ScottIsAFool with 3 comment(s)

I logged into my developer blog today (although we have had a couple of reports of sightings prior to this) to discover a message waiting for me which shows that Microsoft are starting to really push the linked Windows Live IDs that came in last October. This shows that some of the big changes we're expecting around People (and Photos) are starting to see the light of day:

So this fits in with the time frame we expect for Wave 3, so will make it interesting to see what other changes they will be making to the content of Live Spaces users as well as the other services (think: What’s New feed).

Remember, if you spot anything else that’s new, you can email us at tips[at]liveside[dot]net or through our contact form.

This sounds like a friendfeed-like feature.  Apparently a lot of people are now seeing this on their Live Spaces and are getting their panties in a knot.  Microsoft needs to be more forthcoming when features are going to be released and how to use or set permissions on said features.  Too bad that the Live teams have all but stopped posting on their team sites.  It used to be that they all communicated very well when Live was being launched a couple years ago.  Now getting information from them is like pulling teeth.

WILL THIS UPDATE BE PART OF WAVE 3 UPDATE.

Messenger IM Control/Presence - Allow a Messenger icon to appear next to my display picture if I'm online, away, or anything that isn't offline. If my friends see I'm online, they can just press the Messenger icon, and chat with me. Nifty, eh?  If it's a stranger, then he/she can chat with me in a Web Messenger that doesn't show my e-mail or anything. Perfect solution.

Live ID is flawed bigtime. Xbox.com a MS product refuses to recognize associated ID's. Being Xbox Live was first my old hotmail is it's ID. Now with an associated Live ID as my day to day ID I must switch to the old hotmail before xbox.com signs me on? Other then that I think Live ID is awesome.
