[OpenID] Messenger Connect ships today

[Sarah Faulkner]

The original draft of the mail had some link confusion. Here is a corrected
version:


Windows Live just shipped a beta of our Messenger Connect platform. The
platform uses OAuth WRAP (among other
standards<http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_live/b/developer/archive/2010/06/27/developing-with-messenger-connect.aspx>)
and a new consent
dialogue<http://windowsteamblog.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-Blogs-Components-WeblogFiles/00-00-00-53-82-metablogapi/8585.image_5F00_60058FEB.png>to
enable third party websites to access a user’s Windows Live data. Some
of
the data that Messenger Connect beta will give third party websites access
to is: contacts, activity streams, calendar, and photos. Messenger Connect
will also support sign-up and sign-in with a Windows Live ID and chat
through web messenger on the third party site.
