Thanks to all of you who attended my presentation yesterday on Live Services and the Live API - hope you had as much fun as I did.  Here are my follow up links:

General

If you just want the presentation go here, but if you want to learn more about Windows Live development visit http://dev.live.com.  I showed off the the Windows Live Quick Apps (Contoso Bicycle Club, Cotoso University, Contoso ISV, and AdventureWorks Resort) can be found on CodePlex.  Also, if you are getting more serious about developing Live applications, you should consider taking a look at the Visual Studio Tools for Live.

Virtual Earth

If you want to learn more about Virtual Earth visit the developer center and in particular the Virtual Earth Interactive SDK.  A great example of the usage of Virtual Earth are the radar maps on http://www.weather.com.  I showed off integrating in some GeoRSS feeds from MIT into a map and also showed a demo of a modified Club Site Starter Kit.

Live ID

The Live ID discussion was very lively and interesting.  I showed you the sample from the Live ID Client SDK and the Live ID Web SDK.

Live Contacts and Photos

Although we didn't do much in the way of demo we also talked a bit about Live Contacts and Live Photos.  There is a great blog posting you should visit if you are interested in Live Contacts.

Live Search

We also discussed the ability to add search to your site including the AJAX based client control and the ability to use the Interactive SDK to handle queries programmatically.

Live Messenger and Live Agents

One of the more interesting discussions we had was around Live Messenger and Live Agents.  I showed how to create a control you could drop onto a web page to embed IM communication purely through HTML.  I also showed some example agents that were pretty interesting.  If you would like to add them to your Live Messenger, search for the contact smarterchild@hotmail.com and encarta@botmetro.net.  As part of that discussion we also talked about Live Alerts.

Silverlight Streaming

I also did a quick demo that showed off embedding Silverlight Streaming applications into your web page.  There are instructions for packaging up your application for Silverlight Streaming, but I also recommend looking at the Expression Media Encoder if you are specifically looking at media.  I also really like the <iframe> method of embedding the application in your Silverlight applications in about any web page.
