Why waste your space when you can waste ours?

Microsoft offers several free solutions through our Live Services that might enhance your website.  Here are a few that I believe are really useful.

1.  Windows Live Sky Drive:  Sky drive provides users with 5 GB of free disk space for storing files.  Not only can you store the files it also allows you to share these files with others.

2.  Silverlight Streaming:  As Silverlight as well as web video become ubiquitous Web developers will need additional space to host there applications.  Silverlight Streaming provides users with 10 GBs of free space for storing video and Silverlight applications.  You can upload your own videos that will then be encoding to utilize a Silverlight player.  You can then embed these videos into your own website.  This means you are not wasting website space for video content and that you automatically gain the advantage of having a content delivery network to support your content.

3.  Live Mesh:  While in its early stages I see Live Mesh as a new opportunty for developers.  Today Live Mesh offers users the ability to have an online or Live Desktop where data can be synched to.  Not only that but you can synch folders between multiple PC's.  I imagine a time where Live Synch can be utilized to synch your web applications between development and Q/A or staging enviromnments.  Live Mesh too offers 5 GBs of free data storage.
