Microsoft Turning Windows Live Into Social Network Wannabe
Doug November 13th, 2008
It figured that Microsoft would enter the social scene sooner or later; there’s hardly a thing the company doesn’t try its hand at these days. However, the surprising thing is that a Windows Live update actually looks pretty good. Address books can be imported from Facebook, and partners include other big Web 2.0 sites like Flickr, Twitter, and Yelp. Don’t count on this redesign overthrowing MySpace in the next two weeks (it won’t even be fully rolled out until the beginning of next year), but it should bring in some new users and make old ones pretty happy.
