Clean SkyDrive URLs

Submitted by nifke on January 16, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

Problem: My SkyDrive URL is too long. When I want to share it I need to look at the website first and copy paste it because I can't remember the long range of characters in the url.

Instead of http://cid-fsoagjojferj5oiejt3oia.skydrive.live.com (fake example)
it would be nice to have something like
http://myname.skydrive.live.com

or if your email is like: peterjohnson@hotmail.com
http://peterjohnson.skydrive.live.com

Solution: Making the URL shorter and more readable with your name, nickname instead of a long ID number

Severity: High

Impact: High

Status: Not fixed
