    More information on Friends in common

    Have you ever met someone and only realized later that you have a lot of friends in common?  Now you can find see whether you share friends with someone up front through our new ‘Friends in common’ feature.

    In the friends module on another person’s space, there is a new area that highlights friends you have in common.  Right away you can see the number of people you both know and the profile pictures of some of those friends. 

    Want to see the rest of your mutual friends?  Click on In common and you’re taken to a full page view that shows all of your friends as well as separate lists of friends in common and friends that you don't have in common.  This way you can also discover new people that you might know in real life, but are not connected with on Windows Live.

    Finding friends in common is also especially important when planning an event on Windows Live Events.  Who wants to go to a party when none of your friends are going? 

    On the Guest list area of every event, you can now quickly see how many of your friends have also been invited to the event.  Just click on See who’s going and see whether or not your friends are planning to go.

    On another note, we’ve been reading the comments about Lists that people have left on the Space Craft, and we wanted to use this blog entry to update you on our thinking.  We made the changes to lists to improve consistency of the list feature on Spaces main page, but realize that displaying the list description is more important than layout consistency; therefore, we’ll be rolling back the changes we made last week to restore list descriptions to their original form. The restoration may take a few weeks, so please stay tuned. 

    We hope the new features will allow you to manage your relationships as well as find and connect with more people on Windows Live.  Thanks for your continued feedback!

    New Windows Live Spaces and Events updates in the latest release

    At the end of last week, we released some new features for Spaces and Windows Live Events. Here's the low-down:

    New in Windows Live Spaces

    Friends of your friends
    When you're signed in and you visit another person's space, you can easily see the friends you have in common.

    Multiple photo modules
    More than 8 million photos are uploaded to Windows Live a day, so we figured you might like to have more ways to showcase your photos on your space. Now you can! Just add more than one photo album to your space from the Customize page.

    Additional markets and additional storage for Windows Live SkyDrive 
    In addition to the US, UK, and India, SkyDrive is now available to users in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Turkey.

    In addition, SkyDrive users will also have more room for storing files because the limit is being raised from 1GB to 5GB.   So now you have five times the space you had before — that’s 5GB of free online storage for your favorite documents, pictures, and other files.   SkyDrive is a great way to make sure your files are available to you from any computer, without having to carry them around on a flash drive.  It is really useful for sharing files that may be too big to send in e-mail.

    For Spaces users in the countries above, you will see a link on your Spaces home page which will allow you to upload files directly from Spaces to Windows Live SkyDrive.   Just click on the Share Files link at the top of the Spaces home page.

    You can also learn more by visiting the SkyDrive team blog.

    New in Windows Live Events

    We added new features to Events to make it more personal. When you create an event on Windows Live, your own name and e-mail address appears on the invitation instead of the automatically generated e-mail address. In addition, any public events you organize will show up in your Windows Live profile and Events homepage so your friends and Messenger contacts will know when and where it's happening.

    As always, let us know your thoughts and keep sending us your feedback.   We are listening.

    Plan your Academy Awards party with Windows Live Events

    academy awards Vanity Fair may have canceled their Academy Awards party, but that doesn't mean you have to go without.  MSN has a party of their own going on with full coverage of all the drama surrounding the big awards show, and they've created a custom theme for Windows Live Events that you can use to plan your Oscar party.

     

    For help making your predictions on who will win, visit the 2008 Oscars Space for a downloadable ballot and a few opinions from the official blogger.

     

    So invite your friends and roll out the red carpet to your own Academy Awards viewing party.
