Well, you can read here: http://www.microsoft.com/myservices/services/userexperiences.asp I personally do not see any of these services being worth it unless a large majority of web sites start taking advantage of them. It's kind of a chicken and egg scenario. Personally, I think MS should be providing the services free for the first year or two and get people to use them, then transition into a pay service. Then you can decide if the services are worthwhile or not. -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?
