Always know what's new
I don't know about you, but I find it tough to stay up-to-date on all the people I know. With e-mail, IM, text messages, and social networking sites, it feels like there are just too many places to check to see what my friends and family are up to. I could call them, but by the time I think about calling it's often either too late in their time zone, I'm out of cell phone minutes (whoops), or something else comes up.But now all I have to do to see what people are up to is sign in to Windows Live. There, on my Windows Live home page, is a summary of what all my friends and family have been up to lately online, under "What's new with your network."
I can see everything new—blog posts, comments, photos, and other things that the people in my network have decided to share with me, and I can click the links to see more or comment about what they're doing. It's all the new stuff, at a glance. If you’ve used Messenger or Spaces before, then you probably already have people in your network on Windows Live. Your network is made up of your Messenger contacts and what used to be called your Spaces friends.
If you've never used Messenger or Spaces, it's easy to grow your network. You can find people already on Windows Live, and you can also invite your friends from other social networking sites, like Facebook. When you add people, you decide if you want to invite them to Messenger (so you can chat online), to appear on your profile (so other people can see who you know), or both. If someone accepts your invitation, they're in your network and you'll start seeing their updates in your “What's new” list. That's all you have to do!
The cool thing about the “What's new” list is that once you add people to your network, they'll see updates about you too. When I add new photos to Windows Live and share them, the people I've shared them with see my photos in the “What's new” list on their own Windows Live home page. So much easier than sending photos to lots of different people!
The other thing I like about the “What's new” list is you can add the things you do on other sites too. So if you already have an account with Flickr, Twitter, or Pandora, you can just add those activities to Windows Live. That way, the people in your network can see all the different things you're doing online.
When people in my network want to see everything I’ve been doing lately in one place, they can just go to my Windows Live profile page. There’s a list of what’s new on my profile page too, but this list is all about me. Any time I do something on Windows Live, it's automatically updated with the new things I've done. I can decide what activities to share, and who to share them with. If I want my best friend to see everything, when she visits my profile she sees everything. If I want my mom to only see certain photos I've added (like the cute ones of the cat), then that's all she can see.
