My name is Cédric Bozzi, I make apps and websites, and this is my tech blog — you’ll find news commentary here, from a very opinionated Mac-head.

Il y a une version française ici, but most of this blog’s contents are extracted from my Twitter feed, and hence only available in one language (which varies randomly).

Windows Live

The new Windows Live home page, and profile pages, are now reportedly available for all users today and, well…

Well, most of the functionality is there, but the interface is way too cumbersome for the profiles to breathe and live — which is essential in a social network, especially one that places the contacts’ news feed front and center on the home page (which is where it should be).

Incorporating the Messenger avatars and status updates is clever, and a good start (as is importing a bunch of external RSS feeds, à la Friendfeed), but “Wave 3” of Windows Live is definitely not going to replace Facebook… yet.

Considering how much of an improvement this is over the previous version, though, I’m looking forward to Wave 4. Will the designers find out about Ajax?
