Windows Live Spaces Updated

Some new stuff and some interesting numbers from Spaces: it’s now available in 51 countries in 25 languages, there have been 93 million spaces created since Spaces was released, and more than 111 million people a month use Spaces. More than 18 million photos a day are uploaded to Spaces, with over 4 billion photos added since day 1. So with that here’s the list of improvements:

Windows Live Spaces is adding a bunch of new features as we speak including:

- A new home page with information on people in your social network and new stuff on your Spaces like comments, messages, and pending requests.

- More customization features with more colors and themes, and now the ability to upload and add a custom image as a background for your space

- A new Guestbook feature (finally, woohoo!)

- A new messaging feature - send a message to “your Spaces friends and meet other people on Spaces by sending them messages”. Hover over a picture profile and you’ll see a “send a message” link, or use the link in the Visitor tools module on a person’s space.

- Lots of added functionality to Gadgets and Modules, including spanning the full width of a column, removing borders, and changing titles, and a new ability to add multiple modules at the top or bottom of your space that span all of the columns - “perfect for your space title and tagline”. You can also have more than one of the same gadget on your space.

- Improvements to photo management, including a new page for viewing and editing albums on your space, and a new layout for individual photos pages, making it easier and faster to view your photos and see all comments at a glance.

- Improved Mobile interaction with Spaces, including the ability to see at a glance recent updates and comments on your space, add, delete, view, and browse your friends, and view profile information, all from your mobile device.

- Book and music lists are improved, and they look better in narrow view

- Some dev improvements, too: including individual rss feeds for profiles, photo albums, blog categories, top-level directories, friends, and lists; a new set of APIs for sending messages, adding gadgets, and adding modules; and support for one-click customization of gadgets when added to a space.
