Microsoft updates Windows Live apps, adds social features
The new Windows Live also supports integration with third party services like Flickr, LinkedIn, Pandora, and Twitter. And Microsoft is increasing the amount of free storage space for Windows Live SkyDrive users from 5GB to 25GB.

Yeah, it's unfortunate most people won't give a care. To readers of Download Squad, or people that only follow what they consider "trendy" on the web, the internet IS Google, pretty much.
