Windows Live Messenger Control and Presence API

Angus has just announced information on his blog about how to incorporate an IM chat window in a website, for example a blog.  With this, as a Live Messenger user, you can receive IM's from people that visit your website which is a great way for people and businesses to get in contact.  This won't be for everyone - as Angus has pointed out for a long time (since I saw him show it at Mix) and don't worry people can't find out your Live ID, nor can bots start spamming your IM account - we've taken care of all that stuff.  To see how this works head over to Angus's post on setting up the Live Messenger Control and Presence API here.
