Add family and friends to your space and stay connected, all with trusted Microsoft technology. You can see what they've been up to by visiting their spaces. Then go check out their friends, too. 

From your camera to your space, to friends far away, Windows Live Spaces is the easy way to share your favorite photos. Post up to 500 photos a month. Create easy slide shows with your high-resolution pictures. Add comments and tags. Want prints? You can order them directly from your space with Snapfish.

You decide who can see your space or leave a comment. You can even control access on each individual photo album on your space—baby pictures only for your family, travel snapshots for all your friends, party pictures for just your work colleagues.

Templates and themes make it easy to create a great-looking space. Change the layout and add modules to customize your content. Make lists of your favorite music and books. Do it all with a few clicks. Spaces works with Windows Live Writer to help you create dazzling blog entries and preview them before you post them.

Send an instant message to any of your Messenger contacts right from Spaces—just click the Messenger status icon next to that person’s picture. And when you’re using Messenger and see a gleam next to a contact, you know there’s something new on their space.

Share your personal information with family and friends. Share your work info with your colleagues. You decide who gets to see what. And when your info changes, there’s no need to send e-mail to everyone—the people you’re sharing with will automatically get your new updates.

Use your Web-enabled phone to update your space or view other spaces. Upload vacation photos while you’re still on vacation. Post a blog from just about anywhere.
