Doesn’t it seem like Twitter is officially “the thing” now? Maybe that happened when Oprah joined Twitter. I’m not sure, but it certainly seems like it’s here to stay.
The Windows Live team has been tweeting away from http://twitter.com/windowslive for a few months now, and would welcome each and every one of you to follow us there. We tweet out news and information that hopefully will help you get even more out of Windows Live. Sometimes we take informal polls and ask questions to see what’s on your mind. And unlike some corporate Twitterers, there’s some give and take to our twitter stream–we don’t just blast stuff out. We try to follow those who follow us, and to respond to as many direct messages (“DMs” in twitterspeak) and @replies as we can, too.
Thanks to the Twitter web activity, you can also see our latest tweets under “What’s new” on the Windows Live team profile page.
So, who’s tweeting on behalf of @windowslive? You’ll see that our tweets often end with two letters preceded by a caret (“^”) symbol. If you go to our twitter profile page, you’ll see those correspond to the initials of the real people tweeting on behalf of @windowslive. For example, I’m ^MS (Marcus Schmidt). We use a web application called CoTweet to manage all of that, which you can read more about in another guest blog post I did recently.
What would you like us to tweet about on @windowslive? Please just leave a comment here, or better yet, send a tweet to @windowslive.
See you in the twittersphere,
Marcus Schmidt

I have no desire to see what Winfrey tweets about nor do I think she has anything whatsoever to do with the popularity of Twitter. But I am interested in you guys, and what you have to say.I would like to see Tweets about heads-up on problems that may be particular to MSN Spaces that will impact us all here on Spaces. Or, something that may about to be added that is new and will also impact us on Spaces. That way, we get some idea before it happens. Might lessen the pain. 🙂
It\’s nice to keep up with windows live via twitter
Glad Windows Live is on Twitter.I create Msft Webcasts for DiscountASP.NET and the Msft community, keep up-to-date on twitter now…easy. 😉
I too follow on twitter. Very convenient
am a civil engineer and a musician with concentration in rythm guitar. I write lyrics, compose and arrange the music and I am looking for a powerful female vocalist to do the lay vocal tracks in the studio for studio sessions here in California. The music has the flavor of little reggae, afro-beat, and a little rock. Interested candidate must have other source of income while doing the studio work and be willing to dedicate and sacrifice in the studio. If interested, please send email to Eon at eon83@hotmail.com1 day ago | Delete

windows live messenger stopped functioning when I installed Vista Service pack 2
I was on Twitter for a while but came off again. It doesn\’t do for me what Live Spaces does and I can usually catch up with my Network pals, there;-) Nice to see your bloggy update, though, Marcus. Do keep blogging on Spaces, won\’t you. Have a great day, and I wish you all at Live/Microsoft, well.
GO Oprah
many people are too busy up and down to get all they need for their daily needs. many have forgotten time is running out for Jesus to come back and take the church. please people there is hell and heaven.choose one.
I am trying to find out about an email I got that says my account is going to be closed out for some congestion reason and asks for information from me to keep that from happening…is this for real?
Hi team, my "what\’s new" page doesn\’t work. Can you do something about that? I can\’t see some of friends\’ updates and some friends can\’t see my updates too sometimes. Have a good day. xx
By the way, "go get help" doesn\’t work for me. Too much frustration, sigh.
Why does windows live do something advanced for Mac users?
got a windows live message today asking me to verify my account, wanting password, login , etc. Must respond in 2 weeks or account will be deleted. This isn\’t for real is it?
Twitter is so dreadful… God knows why everyone likes it so much.
After listening to Steve Wozniak at the TecTicker today, I went to view "Why Bing?" video and I was impress. Google is a great search engine, however, I believe that only Microsoft can take the search engine to the next level as Steve mentioned, nobody cares to view 4,578,980 results for movies in sacramento in 0.27 second…however, it would be useful to view one "Smart Page" only.
News on betas and new faetures on windows live would be good!
I had to join Windoze Live in order to play a game I bought. It wasn\’t even an online game. THE VERY NEXT DAY my spam box is overloaded with spam. OVER 150 messages when I normally only get 25. WINDOZE LIVE IS SELLING YOUR INFORMATION PEOPLE>
ya,had e mails 3 months ago and now there gone,was in my saved area and now blank. why is it i can only save what they want me to save and not what i want to save. !!!!!!!
Twitter is for kids. Useless. Fix the spam on hotmail.
@Zeynep: This happened to me. In Vista, go to "Programs & Features. In XP, go to "Add/Remove Programs. You navigate here, normally via your Control Panel. Then, once you\’ve clicked on Add/Remove Programs, you will need to find "Windows Live Essentials" and click it. Make absolutely sure from here that you do a "Repair" NOT "Uninstall"! Let the Microsoft Installer do its stuff, then try your Homepage again. This fixed my hassle. Good luck:-)
I would like you to tweet about twitter\’s lack of appeal to businesses. Twitter does not benefit small businesses and just as youtube found out with hulu, advertising is the key to revenue. How long do you think it will be before Twitter introduces some form of privacy invasion or ineffective advertising to attract businesses?http://getanybus.com/shuttlebuses.html
ive not long been on windows live but what a carry on i had to sign up 7 times and then find out how to find another password everytime i logged on useless !!!
Hello!There is a big problem in Windows live Argentina (all is in English)A question ¿Where can i recive responses to this problem? ¿What is the site of feedback?

Just joined @ finding my way through the maize

Hey GuysI am really getting tired of the advertisement in the right column where my emails should be. I am really tired of the fat girl with the fat chin, shaking everywhere.
What\’s up with the email about verifying my account or I will be shut down?
How many times do I have to verify my email for Pete\’s sake? Every time I go online I get the "You need to verify your email" and then trying to use other features I get it again.
The " verifying ypur email address " is a scam. I am sick and tired of all the other scams coming into my inbox telling me that I have money inherited from over seas. What do I do about them? I keep clicking on " Phishing scam" But how do I keep them from coming? Who can I report them to?
hotmail used to work on the native mail app for my iphone now it doesnt anymore any ideas?
btw mbox mail is useless
Im tired of waiting for the polling feature I have been asking for. I switched to WordPress. http://www.canadaexpress.wordpress.com
HOW DO I TELL WHEN SOMEONE HAS READ AN EMAIL I HAVE SENT?
why can\’t i see my friend\’s miss my messenger .just hope to get it back pleasethanks
For the first time in a very long time Microsoft has impressed me with a new product; "bing". Not because I think it\’s a masterpiece of technology but because it does what it is supposed to do and does it well.Windows Live is an embarrassment. Since 2004 you guys at Windows Live have been blabbing your heads off just to hear yourselves talk. I don\’t care what your "team" says people want. I don\’t believe your customer are so mentally challenged as to not want the most basic of tools to manage their own affairs instead of just wanting to know the pseudo happenings of others. Nonsense and trash, period. You like a bunch of kids BSing some goofy professor that likes to be regarded as cool. What a waste of resources. Grow up you loosers.P.S. Your on Twitter…well "woop ti do"
SINCE 3 MONTH ICANT RECIVED ANY MAIL
ya,ll screwed up all my mail and now i have to use a different email name instead of hotmail.com i got to use that live.com and it made me loose all of my email letters
I keep getting emails asking for information regarding my name, password, country of origin, etc. It tells me me windowslife acct. will be terminated if I do not provide this information. I have no way to verify this is a real Windowslive request. What do you suggest?
I am so embarrassed by the stupid "fat" ads alongside my incoming email. When I ry and show my children something I\’ve received in the email, they comment of te bare skin that I have no control over. Is there a way to lose the uncalled for ads?
