INTEROPERABILITY FROM MICROSOFT!  Is this a coincidence that this happens the week AFTER Gates officially left?  Nothing like “additional steps” when you need it.

What does one have to do to get a Beta code invite?  Blog about it? 
One way that Ping.fm could help us build the Open Mesh would be to save off and load in the list of services/sources one [...]

I engaged in a conversation today - off the record - with someone involved with MySpace regarding the Data Availability effort launched yesterday and the fact that it does NOT allow software developers to store any profile data on teh destination site.
The ‘person’ related to MySpace made it very clear that this was just an [...]
