Some new stuff and some interesting numbers from Spaces: it's now available in 51 countries in 25 languages, there have been 93 million spaces created since Spaces was released, and more than 111 million people a month use Spaces. More than 18 million photos a day are uploaded to Spaces, with over 4 billion photos added since day 1. So with that here's the list of improvements Spaces will be announcing in the morning:

Windows Live Spaces is adding a bunch of new features as we speak including:

* A new home page with information on people in your social network and new stuff on your Spaces like comments, messages, and pending requests.

* More customization features with more colors and themes, and now the ability to upload and add a custom image as a background for your space

* A new Guestbook feature (finally, woohoo!)

* A new messaging feature - send a message to "your Spaces friends and meet other people on Spaces by sending them messages". Hover over a picture profile and you'll see a "send a message" link, or use the link in the Visitor tools module on a person's space.

* Lots of added functionality to Gadgets and Modules, including spanning the full width of a column, removing borders, and changing titles, and a new ability to add multiple modules at the top or bottom of your space that span all of the columns - "perfect for your space title and tagline". You can also have more than one of the same gadget on your space.

* Improvements to photo management, including a new page for viewing and editing albums on your space, and a new layout for individual photos pages, making it easier and faster to view your photos and see all comments at a glance.

* Improved Mobile interaction with Spaces, including the ability to see at a glance recent updates and comments on your space, add, delete, view, and browse your friends, and view profile information, all from your mobile device.

* Book and music lists are improved, and they look better in narrow view

* Some dev improvements, too: including individual rss feeds for profiles, photo albums, blog categories, top-level directories, friends, and lists; a new set of APIs for sending messages, adding gadgets, and adding modules; and support for one-click customization of gadgets when added to a space.

sweet. the 3 people that use it should have fun with this.
Exactly. Did/does anyone use this crap?

Did you somehow trip over your own punchlines before reading the very first paragraph?

I've used Bebo and MySpace but Live Spaces is deffinately the best! It's only lacking in theme customisation and I'm pretty sure that's high on their list.

Yeah if you could edit the templates for your style like CSS that would be awesome :D

well I don't know maybe it has that many members that are logged on through the various live spaces but I don't think it has any kind of following like some of the other networking sites. I've tried using it myself a while back but it didn't seem very impressive then.

Good thing what you think isn't fact.

You can do quite a bit to make it stand out and look different (see mine: http://andief-uk.spaces.live.com/) but it would be nice to be a bit more customisable.

That does look alot better then some of the ones I have seen in the past...maybe I might give this a go one day :D

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
