Twitter been there for a while :) - must slipped Liveside minds

Twitter is mentioned in supporting sources of PressPass www.microsoft.com/.../WindowsLivePartnerList.doc and Windows Live Wire windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/.../cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!39050.entry

along with 3rd party Neowin (www.neowin.net/.../facebook-integration-coming-to-windows-live-next-week) and a couple of other places

is abit funny that they have the included the upcoming ones as current (live) services (well internally anyway) r.e. PressPass

By the way, isn't Twitter already a web activity? That isn't listed in any of this article.

Microsoft probes my mind ... (nearly!)

if Neowin sources are right :).

Bebo is to be added 'soon' after as a contact importer

Myspace, Amazon and some non 'wave 1 & 2' 3rd party providers as web providers is coming in the autumn

- a 2H (Q3/Q4) 2009 another 'wave' of web providers (including Myspace and Amazon)

- bebo contact importer soon

Content importers (both ways):

profile.live.com/Connect

Current: Facebook & LinkedIn

By Next Week: Myspace, Hi5 and Tagged (by next week)

Soon: Bebo

Missing Big companies as Providers: Bebo [whould not rule out by late 2010 lol] but no Google and Yahoo.

I said earlier "along with a few of the web activities allowing more then 1 account to be imported :D" - Custom Blog is one of the main ones

2 one words:

'Finally!' and 'Fantastic'!

maybe these new contact import partners in time can become feed activities (aimed at Myspace, Hi5 and Tagged, along with Bebo)

Imageshack,us would be a good one in the imaging category that includes photobucket, flickr and (indirectly) windows live photos

along with a few of the web activities allowing more then 1 account to be imported :D

This is great news. Interesting to see Zune Social and MSN as "new partners." Facebook will be an awesome addition. But I wonder what kind of deal-making goes on to get these companies on board...

I'm very happy to see they added Zune Social.

@joeale, Popfly may never leave beta stage after January's layoffs. In a way, XBox' Kodu far outshines Popfly as a game creation tool. Hopefully Microsoft will support running Kodu generated games on PCs, etc at some point. The one area of Popfly that was interesting was it's mashup capabilities. I'm hoping this will somehow be advanced by Microsoft. But I don't see that happening until the world wide financial health is on the rebound.
