Many of you Messenger Stuff readers will know RebelSean, an enthusiast news reporter in the Windows Live business. He was writing here from July 2007 until December 2008, and since then he is catching up on news stories on Neowin.net. Describing himself as “un­of­fi­cial Mi­crosoft Evan­ge­list”, I talked with him about Messenger’s past and future.

mynetx: Do you think the Win­dows Live team cares for their users’ de­mands? Why?

Sean Brad­ford: Def­i­nite­ly, as the Win­dows Live ecosys­tem evolves so do the prod­ucts. Win­dows Live Home­page is a per­fect ex­am­ple. When the “What’s new” feed was launched back at CES 2009, users re­quest­ed more feeds be added. Since then Mi­crosoft has added 40+ ser­vices to the list of part­ners, in­clud­ing Face­book, Digg, Twit­ter, and much more.



mynetx: Look­ing into the fu­ture: With­in the next five years, where could you pic­ture Win­dows Live?

Sean Brad­ford: Win­dows Live has grown tremen­dous­ly since its ini­tial launch. I think the main focus on Win­dows Live has turned to its on­line ser­vices. As more and more on­line ser­vices are launched, I fore­see Win­dows Live be­com­ing a cen­tral hub for com­mu­ni­ca­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion for users.
