Microsoft is expected to discuss several technologies pertaining to its Live Platform at the Mix08 conference in Las Vegas this week, including APIs for messaging and sharing contacts.
In his blog from last week, Microsoft's David Treadwell, corporate vice president for Live Platform services at Microsoft, noted several developments pertaining to Windows Live, which is Microsoft's hosted services platform. The company, he said, is opening up the Windows Live Messenger network for third-party Web sites to reach 300 million-plus Windows Live Messenger users.
