      • I know that MSFT will soon be releasing code for a control that we can embed into a web page to enable people to IM us anonymously. This is called Messenger Presence I think. I figure that there must be some sort of cloud API that enables this. Will that API be open for developers I'd like to build my own Messenger client that utilises it. Thanks Jamie

      • Is Live used for these forums If so, then should I ask about that in the Live Id forum What I want to ask about more specifically is about the automatic sign out that we encounter when using these forums.

I would have thought if you could set pushpins, you should also be able to retrieve details... Has anyone managed to get around this issue Cheers, Woody.
