• Simeão Messenger API and Xbox Live

  Hi all, With the Messenger API kit is it possible to get information on alerts, specifically Xbox Live alerts I'd like to create a section on the Xbox site I am working on ( www.myxbox.co.uk  ) that shows who is on Live and what game they are playing. Was just wondering if this would be a possibility with using the Messenger API. Or perhaps MS will be launching a Xbox webservice of some sort (I am praying here!!!) :-) Cheers Nick S ...Show All

• Barry Smith Trackback spam editor

  I have been using spaces for a while and although it is painfully slow I really like its functionality and appearance. However, trackback spam is driving me nuts and I have had to turn it off. The MSN Spaces way of removing trackbacks, one at a time and a 15 second delay between each, is not very friendly. I have been thinking about creating a simple application that removes trackback spam, but to my surprise the API for MSN spaces is ...Show All

• ron nash VE - mappoint style routes (possible in VE?)

  Hello, I'm typically generating routes that have 8-12 stops on them. Using MapPoint Web Services this was no problem. Is there a way to generate a route (i'll provide the ordering) of more than 2 points connected by a driving route (green marked road). Also, it would be great if this could be done WITHOUT all of those interim little red directional points. These really bug when there's alot of points already on the map.
