收到一封从Cafe MSN寄来的信，说是有一个新主题发布，邀请参与者讨论，对有回复有价值的参与者会给以奖励。

Tell us what you think about using desktop/Internet applications to manage your contacts/address book and your ideas for a new contact management service.

&nbsp1. Which desktop/Internet application(s) do you use to manage your contacts?

&nbsp2. What is the most distinctive favorite feature for you?

&nbsp3. Where does it fall short? What would you like it to do in the future?

&nbsp4. Now imagine a new contact management service with Windows Live that allows you to:

- store all your contacts in one place and easily access them from anywhere (including Outlook/Outlook Express and your mobile phone)

- subscribe to automatic contact updates so when your friends move, your address book is automatically updated with their new info

- retrieve your Windows Live address book when visiting 3rd party websites (e.g., Amazon, Evite) so sending gifts and invitations is easy

- link multiple e-mail addresses with your profile (e.g., your high school, college, work, personal email) so you can keep a consolidated contact list while preserving the distinction between groups of contacts

- integrate with your social network sites so all your friends and buddies are automatically added to your Windows Live address book and you can easily see what’s new with them (blogs, photos, etc.) when you view your address book by clicking a button

5. Apart from the features mentioned above, what would you most like to see in a contact management service?

从主题看Windows Live是准备要添加Live Contact/Adress Book的服务了。

我期待它能支持除了私有的保密功能外，便是能自己定义标签给联系人，别光是依靠自定义分类（因为分类只有选择一个，标签却能选择多个）。
