Over the last 18 months, we have explored how to build a highly-interactive, customizable, and extensible portal. The first iteration was a simple portal on Start.com . We created various iterations ( start.com/1 , start.com/2 , start.com/3 ) which have evolved into the first fully extensible portal on Live.com . Today, from Live.com to the Kahuna ( Hotmail ) beta to MSN Spaces , and so-on, we are investing heavily in building very rich, interactive experiences. With these investments, we are learning a great deal on the right and wrong ways to engineer rich, interactive web-sites. Underneath all our Windows Live properties, we share a common framework for how we engineer our client experiences. The framework is very client-centric where we...

Go check out http://www.live.com . I expect to see more posts from the team after they get back from some much needed rest. The experience and features have been heavily updated. A few highlights to check out: Heavily updated look and feel. Multiple pages to help organize your content. Quickly rename and rearrange your pages (drag and drop them) Adding content is much easier (and again, just drag an item from the list onto your page) The coolest updated feature: Search (including extensible macros). Try the infinite scroller to move through the lists, click on the drop-down to find macros to extend your search experience. Built in gadgets have an enhanced look and feel. Explore. I am sure you will find more great stuff. Read More...

Two more interesting links... Live.com Steve Rider saved me a long post by posting the long list of enhancements with the latest Windows Live update. I suggest checking it out ( http://microsoftgadgets.com/forums/1813/ShowPost.aspx ) Also, slightly old news, but Spaces released metaweblog API support earlier this month. You can find some details at Dare's blog and there is a MSDN discussion forum ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=198&SiteID=1 ). Read More...

We released an update to the Windows Live Home Page today with a number of changes and improvements around Gadgets ( See Sanaz's blog for detail ). I believe one new feature is very much worth calling out. The past few weeks, we have been talking to the Opera team on how to enable Live.com for Opera users (big Kudos to the Opera team for fantastic support). While not yet perfect, we have gotten much of www.Live.com working with the Opera 9 preview (we only validated against the Windows version). We are still working through some Gadget issues (e.g., the weather component does not work) but this is a big step forward. Read More...
