Microsoft Live - Live Local

Posted by Dave Smith On 12/18/2005 04:53:00 PM 0 comments


I have to admit I haven't really been following the Microsoft Live buzz... but it looks like, as a few times in the past, the folks at Microsoft have been quietly working away, this time building a lot of web services components, the pieces and parts of which begin to form a seamless and easy-to-use tapestry.

One of these components is Live Local, which is built on Virtual Earth and appears to be using the AJAX / Microsoft ATLAS technology that, with asynchronous JavaScript/JavaScript
XML Web Services similar to Google maps technology has been all the rage lately.

I soon hope to be looking at the APIs, usability and possibilities of these services... looking forward to this as I start playing with Visual Studio .NET 2005 in earnest...
