Windows Live Furthers Contact Portability

According to a Microsoft blog post today, Microsoft is expanding upon their Windows Live platform by releasing their Windows Live Contacts API. This new service is similar to that of the Google Contact API paving a path for increased data portability.

The biggest part of the announcement is a partnership with Facebook, Bebo, Hi5, Tagged and LinkedIn to “exchange functionally-similar Contacts APIs” which will open a “two-way street for users to move their relationships between our respective services.”
