Build Social Networks with Windows Live Contacts

Windows Live Contacts now allows people to use their Windows Live contact information (including Hotmail, Messenger, and Mobile contacts) with your site—while keeping complete control of their data.




 

Contacts Control (Beta)

Important Notice
As of September 8th, the Contacts Control will no longer be available. If you are using this control on your site, we ask that you please remove it by September 8th. As an alternative, please use the UI Controls from Messenger Web Toolkit.

For more information, see our recent blog post.

Contacts API (Beta)

A RESTful API that works on Address Book objects. The Contacts API offers a more granular control over the user experience and allows users to grant and revoke permission to their data on a site-by-site basis. Windows Live ID Delegated Auth provides the protocols to manage the permissioning process.
