Wave 3 urls start resolving, services betas coming soon

Posted Aug 23 2008, 10:41 AM by Chris with 14 comment(s)

Ah its almost that time of the year, when we start posting 5 times a day with more screenshots than you can shake a stick at. Just to wet the appetite, the url for the Windows Live People service now works (people.live.com). Unfortunately if you’re not on the Hotmail dogfood servers, all you’ll see is your Hotmail inbox. Yes there is a Wave 3 Hotmail update, which should please a lot of people :)

Also of note is that profile.live.com now redirects to Spaces (photos.live.com has done for a few releases now).

One final point to make, is that if you signed into Windows Live Video Messages to try it out, you’ll have broken your Windows Live Calendar. If you try and sign in now, you’ll see an error message: “Windows Live Calendar wasn’t able to complete this request.” We’ve heard that it is a known issue, so it should get fixed in the near future. Maybe at the same time as a Wave 3 calendar update? ;)

Anyway, if you have any tips over the next month or so remember we have a dedicated tips line: tips [at] liveside dot net.

Fun times ahead!

I just got an ad in my Hotmail (in that area below Today/Mail/Contacts/Calendar): "good is getting better." It linked to www.windowslive-hotmail.com/comingsoon, which at the moment appears to be broken. Interesting.

Just to follow up, it seems they're promoting that URL pretty heavily--I've now seen several ads for it, but it still doesn't work.

RE: barcode, last we heard it wasn't an official product, just incubation. Haven't heard anything for over a year now.

WL Barcode....you know they would've done well if they continued with that incubation project. In Australia they're starting to promote the same QR Code being used in WL Barcode and it's starting to appear on ads and everywhere. Although of course not to the great extent as in Japan.
