Windows Live had already supported importing from Twitter, as well as a few other popular services including Yahoo's Flickr.,
The new roll-out takes aim at services like Friendfeed (and more recently MyBlogLog and Facebook) by turning your 'shares' into a virtual 'lifestream' of your comments and posts to a large variety of web platforms.
From Rob Dolin on the Windows Live Blog:
- "If you use a social networking service worldwide, you can add your updates from:
Facebook, Twitter, Arto, Daum, Fotolog, Hevre, wow.ya.ru, Zoo, and more - If you share photos online you can now add updates to Windows Live from:
Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, SmugMug, Metroflog, Bilddagboken, and more - If you have a blog, you can add it to Windows Live from:
Wordpress, LiveJournal, Typepad, Overblog, and a custom blog activity, which works with Blogger and others. - If you use any of these sites for information, music, video, or radio service, you can add them to Windows Live:
MSN, iLike, Pandora, Last.fm, Dada, and Dailymotion, and more - And if you use a variety of different review sites, you can add them to Windows Live from:
Digg, Flixster, StumbleUpon, Tripit, and Yelp, and more"
