The Messenger team rolled out 2.5 of the Windows Live Messenger Library – build your own web based Messenger client, you own the UX !!!
There is a sample I’ve been keeping in my back pocket (waiting for security review) but now seems like a good time to point to it -- we should be releasing the source code on as part of the Quick Apps within a few weeks.
We worked with our buddies at Terralever to build a docked Messenger Library implementation using Silverlight – check it out at http://terralever.com/sandbox
Mess.be were first on the news (btw – love the don’t mess with Logan) – I got this for hitting 100 members in my fan club.
Check out the What’s new
Browser Support Firefox® 3.0 is now an officially supported browser. Contact Presence The new Contact.Presence property returns presence information for contacts. Previously, presence information was only available via IMAddress.Presence. The new property should simplify application development because most applications can rely on Contact.Presence. Contact Display Names The new Contact.DisplayName property returns the name that applications should use when rendering a contact. This property is dynamically computed based on various values including the contact's current display name as well as the user's nickname for the contact. Contact Nicknames Windows Live Messenger enables users to provide nicknames for their contacts. Applications can now read and write nicknames using the Contact.Nickname property. Endpoint Names The user's Endpoints now expose their human-friendly names via the Name property. Applications can also customize the name of the local endpoint. Showing and Hiding Sign-in Control Improvements have been made to the reliability of the Sign-in Control. The control can be displayed and hidden using the new Show and Hide methods. Item Accessors All collection types now expose an item accessor to retrieve items from the collection. Applications no longer need to enumerate through a collection to retrieve specific items.
