Live Spaces Gets Facebook-style News Feed
Windows Live Spaces recently* added a What’s New page, which gives you the latest updates from your friends. Much like Facebook’s News Feed, it lets you know when your friends have added other friends, blogged something, uploaded photos or files, published lists and edited their profiles. While it isn’t perfect and is missing some things (like Events listings), its a much-needed feature.
Facebook’s News Feed made this a necessity for any social network, and its good to see Live Spaces take it on. While some people like to scream “rip-off!” every time someone, especially Microsoft, adds a feature someone else came up with, News Feed is such a game-changing feature that every network needs one now, or they can’t even compete. If you don’t know the power of the News Feed yet, friend me and some other people on Facebook and see how useful it becomes.
* - apologies on some slightly old news, but I’m having some tough times lately, and am slowly catching everything up. The big news will be current, everything else will be slightly older for another week, I guess.
