I haven’t blogged here in a while, but that’s because I’ve started posting over on Inside Windows Live instead. You may have seen a couple of my blog posts there, explaining what OAuth 2.0 means for developers who want to connect their apps, services, and devices to Windows Live, and how just a few lines of JavaScript can connect your site to Hotmail, Messenger, and SkyDrive. Because the Inside Windows Live blog already has a ton of interesting content about the engineering, architecture, and t ...

Earlier this year we announced the general availability of Messenger Connect which enables users of Windows Live services to opt in to provide access to their identity, contacts, social updates and more with websites and apps. One of the key partners that has adopted Messenger Connect is Gigya.

A few weeks ago we announced that Messenger Connect was out of beta and available worldwide. I wanted to take this opportunity to share some details about one of the features I worked on: the Messenger Connect Chat Control. This control allows people on your site to chat in real time. Any user can view the chat session. To participate, a user simply needs to sign-in with a Windows Live ID, that is, with a Hotmail or Messenger account. The Chat Control currently comes in two color themes: light ...

Jeff just announced on Inside Windows Live that Messenger Connect is now out of beta. In this post I want to give you some context on the technical changes. These changes are the result great feedback from the 2500+ people who participated in the beta and a couple of months of development time. We focused on: Making it easier to get up and running, easier and faster development, and delivering some core scenarios based on feedback. Easier to check out If you are new to a service you want ...

As you may have heard, Microsoft made a major announcement about Windows Phone 7 this morning. On the Inside Windows Live blog, my colleague Chris Jones wrote about some of the many places where Windows Phone integrates with Windows Live in this blog post. Here on our Windows Live for Developers, I’m excited to let you know that the Windows Live activities on the “People Hub” of Windows Phone 7 are powered by Activity Streams. Yes, the same Atom Activity Extensions format that ...

One of the things I’ve found hard to measure is the industry’s perception (in aggregate) of the impact to user engagement and user acquisition when a site deeply connects to large audiences through “Connect like” solutions. This morning I may have found part of the answer in some new research from Gigya (conducted by Edge Research) that helps answer the question – “[what is] the value of social sign-on and the registered user?”. You should read the entire research from here . The two big takeaw ...

Did you know that Microsoft’s Windows Live has been actively embracing the emerging Activity Streams open standard? About a month ago, I traveled to Portland, Oregon, USA to participate in a “Federated Social Web Summit” organized the day before OSCON by Evan Prodromou and the team from Status.net. We spent the morning with each participant demo’ing their project or protocol for about five minutes. Below is my attempt to re-format my presentation as a blog entry. --- My name is Rob Dolin and ...

We’ve been working hard on the Windows Live Messenger Web Toolkit (MWT) which allows you to connect your web site to 330M+ people who use Windows Live Messenger every month! Today we’d like to announce the availability of the Messenger Web Toolkit v3.5 which will enhance the user experience, make it easier to enable sharing via Messenger scenarios on your site (new sharing control), and enable new scenarios (e.g. people who don’t use Messenger will be able to see display pics / names).

Imagine a great consumer experience that provides visual search and the ability to share photos with your friends via IM – that is what Photobucket landed this week by using Silverlight to create a rich visual search and combining it with Windows Live Messenger to make it social. Photobucket visual search is a great example of how the activity of searching for images can be turned into a rich and compelling social experience, taking full advantage of one of the most widespread social sharing beh ...

Just a quick note that we will be winding down our Community Technology Preview of the Windows Live Spaces Photo API and the Windows Live Application Based Storage API in the next couple of days and we will be turning off those API endpoints. The Photos API CTP especially has been extremely useful for us, as we learned a ton about the functionality developers want and previewed our first AtomPub endpoint – this AtomPub endpoint drove some of the thinking around the Live Framework. But the time ...

We are pleased to announce that the Live Search team just released the version 2.0 beta of the Live Search API with several new features. According to this Live Search blog post: We now offer access through new interfaces: JSON, and XML over HTTP. Of course, you can still use our SOAP interface. But now you have options. You said you were spinning cycles parsing out non-web results that had been shoehorned into a one-size-fits-all response structure, and we heard you. The new API ...
