Messaging / Presence : On Wednesday we announced the Windows Live Messenger Web Toolkit which is a set of controls and libraries that enable you to connect Windows Live Messenger users and their friends with users of your Web site.

• Keiji Kanazawa gave an overview of the Windows Live Messenger Web Toolkit

• Angus’s pick! Jordan Snyder from Effective UI shared her experiences in integrating the Windows Live Messenger Web Toolkit into a slick Silverlight application for a major photo sharing website (more news coming soon.)

Identity & Safety : Microsoft are in a unique position to be running one of the largest services in the world, with over 500 million people signing in every month.

• Jorgen Thelin gave an overview of the different aspects of the Live Identity Service and how we are making it available for web developers, companies which sell solutions and also organizations which want to adopt cloud services.
• Angus’s favorite :: John Scarrow talks about the things you need to think about when running a massive high scale service in terms of people abusing your service. “the terrorists are no longer in their camps in the desert, they are moving into apartment buildings (i.e. your website)”

Live Framework – we unveiled the Live Framework at PDC and have been working away taking feedback, hardening and evolving it.

• Ori Amiga gave an overview of the Live Framework all up
