Angus Logan from the Live Services team posted recently about Safer Internet Day and how Microsoft has been working with outside web developers to get their sites working more safely with Windows Live, without compromising on ease of use. Windows Live has been focusing this effort in two areas:

  1. Setting up a safer way to exchange address book information (only when a user requests it of course, like when you want to import your list of friends to another network), without allowing sites to use the unsafe practice of screen-scraping.
  2. Working with other websites who use Windows Live ID, to create a safer, easier way to sign in to their sites while retaining the look and feel of the host website.

For details, see Angus’s post on Live Services: Making the Internet a Safer Place.
