Excited about a new lifestreaming option for Windows Live users, I decided to go check out the new offering. I signed up to get a Windows Live account yesterday. The experience is terrible. I haven’t a clue as to how to get the new aggregation features to work. Navigation is horrible. Even finding my profile (From Home, Click Spaces (?), then click Profile) was a chore. Despite the fact that their blog talks up the social networking feature, there’s no apparent or obvious UI to set it up. It seems like you have to be a Windows Messenger or Hotmail user to get the aggregation feature, but that requires a Windows-only installation process (I <heart> Mac). This is retarded and I can only see this feature set appealing to dedicated Windows Live users that have some clue as to how the navigation works. So, enjoy it, whoever you are.
