Windows Live Spaces gets 3 months of new updates
The Windows Live Spaces Team has announced that Windows Live Spaces received 3 months worth of new updates to the service this past week. Users can expect to see the following changes:
- Updated Windows Live Spaces Homepage
- New Birthday Notifications
- Ability to re-order Lists
- View Image Slideshows in Full-Screen mode
- New Download Photo Option for Photos in Galleries
- New Templates based on what you want to do
- Clickable Blog Entry Title
Windows Live Spaces is now also available in 8 new markets: Bulgaria, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Serbia, and the Ukraine. This update signifies the commitment the Spaces Team has to improving the service at an amazing pace. It seems we’re getting new updates to the service every few months which is a good feeling as a user of the service myself.
This update also introduces the brand new Windows Live Header taking the place of the old-style flare design that’s been in use for quite some time. The new header signifies the direction Microsoft is heading with Windows Live with the 2.0 releases of services and new desktop applications and ties the UI together. I love the new header myself. I can’t wait to see it across Windows Live.
Windows Live Spaces is shaping up to be a very useful social-networking service for sharing photos, information with family members and friends. It’s certainly not Facebook though. But it does have quite a bit of potential.
