[Photos] Improve face tagging in WL Photos

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 10, 2009 to Aesthetics, Usability

Just showing a list of people in the photo is too basic. Facebook allows you to hover over individuals in the picture to see tags. WL Photos needs this type of tagging support. Particularly handy for large group photos.

Allow point-and-click tagging of uploaded photos.

[Messenger] What ever happened to web-based IM?

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 10, 2009 to Usability

Wasn't this supposed to be rolled out with the "Hotmail update" in February? Yes, I know we have MSN Web Messenger, but I was looking forward to the integration of IM with wave 3 that was expected a while back. Any updates on the horizon?

Roll it out already!

[People] Allow me to override WL People display pictures

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Aesthetics, Usability

Currently if someone has a Messenger account, then it's picture trumps everything else in my WL People list.

Allow me to upload my own images for my WL People contacts. I want to use WL People as my universal address book.

Allow custom order of banner links

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

The Home Profile People Mail Photos More MSN links cannot be customized by the user.

Because different WL audiences have different agendas, you're never going to satisfy everyone with a single standard. Allow each user to define what appears on the "top 5" of their own WL banner. Anything else drops into the More category (more...)

User customized actions on the user tile

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Usability

The user tile actions are arbitrarily locked, depending on the context in WL.

Allow users to customize the user tile actions. If I want my space to be the first thing you see when you click my user tile, then so be it. Or if I want to override user tile behaviors and always see an option to send email to other WL users via their (more...)

[Spaces] Decouple the blog from WL Spaces

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Annoyance, Legacy, Usability

WL Spaces is required to host a blog. If photos, favorites, and other lists are not inherently part of WL Spaces anymore, then why is your blog?

The blog component should be decoupled from WL Spaces and reorganized under WL Profile and/or SkyDrive, the same way that Photos has be reorganized. Multiple blog support should be added. A link should also be added to the left side of my Profile page (more...)

[Spaces] [SkyDrive] Improve support for blogging to WL Spaces/SkyDrive with Word 2007

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Legacy, Usability

If you're using Word 2007 as your blog editor for WL Spaces, you can't include images, unless you host them somewhere other than SkyDrive (i.e., third-party image hosting). One would expect better integration between Microsoft products and services. (more...)

[Spaces] Support multiple cateogries for blog entries in WL Spaces

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

What if my post is about Computer and Internet AND Humor AND Microsoft? I need to be able to pick multiple categories without resorting to custom tags. This should be available through WL Spaces web editor and WL Writer.

[Spaces] Bring wave 3 theme support to WL Spaces

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Legacy, Usability

Right now, Spaces looks like the red-headed stepchild of WL (no offense to red-heads, or stepchildren). We need full support for wave 3 themes (including the dynamic ones) and proper centering of the WL banner links (right now, they're slightly off-center (more...)

[Profile] Provide personalized URL for WL Profile

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Aesthetics, Usability

It's currently difficult to share a link to your profile with non-WL users. There should be an option to create a personalized URL for your profile, just like you can do currently for your space. The link should be (more...)

[Groups] Add Groups > to start of drill-down path in WL Groups

The Groups > link should return me to the summary of my groups (http://groups.live.com). It would save me a click when I want to jump to a different group (currently, (more...)

[People] Display PSMs in WL People list

Submitted by gregsedwards on March 9, 2009 to Usability

Facebook does this, and I think more people would visit WL People more if they could see their network members' status at a glance. Besides there's a lot of room on that page for more information. It would also be nice to be able to comment (more...)
