Introducing Docs for Facebook: Making Your Documents Social

April 21, 10 //
Comments Off


Microsoft FUSE Labs has created (and released to the web today) a new social experiment that aims to add some “friendliness” to your documents: Docs - a way for you to discover, create and share Microsoft Office documents with your Facebook friends. Built using Microsoft Office 2010 – Docs for Facebook provides the best possible document service for the Facebook environment. Seamless integration with Facebook means that the service is all about sharing your documents. Finally docs can be friendly too!

From Lili Cheng’s blog post: The fact that we’ve been able to adapt the Office 2010 “Web Apps” technology to work directly with Facebook truly speaks to the flexibility and power not just of the Facebook platform, but also of the Office system’s rich “contextual collaboration” capabilities.  And we’d never have been able to achieve our critical ‘simplicity’ goals had it not been for our ability to use a new test feature from Facebook that allows us to build an instantly personalized and seamless document authorization & sharing experience directly from our site.

Outlook Social Connector Announcement

February 17, 10 //
Comments Off

Back in October I told you about the launch of our Outlook Social Connector product, which gives Outlook the ability to aggregate all your social communication into one place. Here, Dev stops back by the studio to tell us about the latest announcement: the availability of the LinkedIn connector and new Outlook integration with Facebook and MySpace.

With LinkedIn you’ll be able to see the statuses and photos of colleagues, and any changes they make to their contact information will be synced to Outlook so it’s always current. You can also add new people to LinkedIn right from Outlook. You can get started by downloading the Office 2010 Beta, then downloading Outlook Social Connector, and then heading over to LinkedIn to download this connector.

Keep track of the latest Office news by watching the Office blog, or follow the Office twitter @Office2010. You can follow Dev at @DevBala, or follow me @LarryLa.

John scores a cool interview with one of the developers responsible for the Silverlight client for Facebook application. This application made a big splash at the PDC 09 keynote, and another when it was released on www.silverlight.net at this link here.

Rajendra Vishnumurty demonstrates some of the key features of the application and jumps right into the code for several areas. Be sure not to miss this inside look at the Silverlight client for Facebook.

Simplifying how to share content on Channel 9

February 4, 10 //
Comments Off

Hey folks,

We’ve just released an update to Channel 9 that simplifies how you share content.

We’ve now added two dedicated sharing icons for Twitter and Facebook on a video page, as shown in the image.
 
Clicking on either of the links will ask you to login with your Twitter (via tweetmeme.com) or Facebook credentials respectively to share the link.

While this is a pretty minor change, we did want to discuss some of the reasons for the change.  

  • Familiarity - The Facebook and Twitter sharing icons are likely to be well-known niners and by making the sharing feature more obvious, the hope is that more people will share content.
  • Simplicity – The previous implementation of the share feature provided seven sharing options and had a dropdown menu of options. 
  • Usage data - Based on how the share feature was used, Facebook (#1) and Twitter (#2) were clearly the most used options.

Thanks,
- Channel 9 Team

Fishbowl for Facebook

November 24, 09 //
Comments Off

Fishbowl for Facebook is a WPF application created by Microsoft that takes advantage of some of the new Windows 7 features like jumplists and multitouch. Working like a WPF version of the Facebook site, you can do most of the same things you would do through a browser like status and comments, browse friend photos or upload your own, but with added functionality like dragging and dropping in new photos.

Download it for yourself at http://www.fishbowlclient.com/.

Today Microsoft released a Facebook SDK to make it easy for .NET devs to use the Facebook Open Stream API. The SDK supports apps in Silverlight, WPF, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, and Windows Forms. The Windows Developer Center has the download, how-to guides, a wiki, and sample code to get you started.

Now go create something cool (and let me know when you do).
