[Photos] Tagged photo integration
If I'm tagged in another user's photos, then I can't see a summary of those photos in my SkyDrive. I know they show up on the What's New feed, etc., but they're not side-by-side with my photos in WL Photos/SkyDrive. Facebook provides (more...)
Allow photos in which I'm tagged to appear in my photo galleries, even if it’s just a link to a separate page.

[Photos] Improve face tagging in WL Photos
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.

[People] Show me all categories to which a contact has been assigned.
Right now, I just sort of blindly poke people into categories and then I have to navigate to the category to see who’s in it. There's no way to see all of the categories to which a given contact has been assigned.
I’d like to be able to see that Jeffrey is in Friends, Colleagues, and Windows Live. Please show me that somewhere, perhaps in the main list or contact view page.

[Profile] Provide personalized URL for WL Profile
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] [Profile] [SkyDrive] [Spaces] Create consistent sorting/navigation options for comments and discussions
Have you noticed? Blog, profile, and SkyDrive comments on WL sort newest to oldest, but discussions sort in completely the opposite direction. Some comment pages display first/back/next/last navigation buttons only at the top/bottom of the page, but their (more...)
Provide a consistent sort order for comments across WL, or provide a simple sorting mechanism to give users control over which direction to sort the comments. Provide a reliable place to find comment navigation buttons, and make them look the same across (more...)

[Spaces] Provide better control over comments
It's easier than before to manage blog comments and remove spam, but WL needs to increase the focus on keeping spam out of our comments in the first place.
Provide more control over who can post comments to our blogs, perferrably in the form of any or all of the following: CAPTCHA/reCAPTCHA, moderation (comments don't appear until you've OKed them), more granular permissions (e.g., only allow comments (more...)

Standardize the comment editors across WL.
There's a lot of variation between the comment editors used in Windows Live (profile notes, PMs, web-based blog editor, blog comments, guestbook, group discussions, feedback, etc.), and I'm not just talking about the exclusion of rich-formatting (more...)
Create a uniform set of editing/formatting tools for all comment editors. I've got no problem with turning on/off features depending on their context (that makes a lot of sense), but maybe add more granularity, so that some tools can be disabled (more...)

[People] Expose more standard contact fields.
It seems like every contact management tool has its own collection of fields, which is immensely frustrating.
Either provide a better set of standard fields (signifcant other, children, multiple phones), or provide a mechanism for creating your own. At a minimum, WL people fields should be consistent with those in WL Mail. After all, aren’t these all Microsoft (more...)

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

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

[People] Reformat the WL People list.
The People list uses the full width of the browser. It may make sense for Hotmail to use the full width of the browser, but considering the information it presents, the main list on the People page just looks too thinly stretched.
Set a fixed with for the contact list on the People page (or add some more details to the list).

[Profile] Add a description of favorite items in the What's New feed.
Favorite things do not show comments in the What's New feed.
If someone adds an artist to their favorite music list, then I see the album, but I’d also to see their comments.

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

[People] Display PSMs in WL People list
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...)
