We’ve been working hard on the Windows Live Messenger Web Toolkit (MWT) which allows you to connect your web site to 330M+ people who use Windows Live Messenger every month! Today we’d like to announce the availability of the Messenger Web Toolkit v3.5 which will enhance the user experience, make it easier to enable sharing via Messenger scenarios on your site (new sharing control), and enable new scenarios (e.g. people who don’t use Messenger will be able to see display pics / names). Specifically, the improvements we have made are:
- User experience: smoothed out the user experience, added a first run experience, expanded the browser support, increased the performance
- Developer experience: reduced the amount of code for you to implement “Share via Windows Live†and the Messenger Web Toolkit is now built on the Microsoft Ajax library.
- New scenarios: Allow people who don’t use Messenger to see display pictures and names of Messenger users.
