Microsoft this week is giving a sneak peek at new Live services and platform development tools it plans to introduce at the company's MIX08 Web developers conference next week.
"We've got some cool new applications and APIs we’re unveiling at MIX08," David Treadwell, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Live Platform Services group, said in a blog post Wednesday evening.
MIX is Microsoft's annual confab for Web developers and designers. This year's event, which runs next Wednesday through Friday, is being held in the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas as usual.
On the list of other technologies Treadwell previewed is the beta of the Windows Live Messenger Library, a set of programming routines meant to enable developers to create customized user interfaces for third-party Web sites using Live Messenger. "We are opening up the Windows Live Messenger network for third-party web sites to reach the 300 million-plus Windows Live Messenger users," Treadwell's post said.
Also, Thursday, the company released the beta of the Windows Live Contacts API (define), which lets programmers build applications that can securely transfer and share contacts lists with other applications.
