Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise Data Portability
 

MySpace unveiled on Might eight however a different business initiative to permit people and developers to share their social-networking data — a goal Microsoft also has in its sights.The first partners announcing their participation in MySpace;s Data Portability initiative include Yahoo, eBay, Photobucket (also owned by News Corp.;s Fox Interactive Media) and Twitter. I didn;t see mentions in any of the Information Portability coverage I saw as to when/whether Microsoft may perhaps play here, too.So here are the answers to those questions: Microsoft demonstrated in March at its TechFest Research fair a project codenamed C2. Microsoft;s C2 is a social-aggregation toolkit that can work across desktop, mobile and Web clients. It aggregates data, including friends, call history, photos, contacts and the like — from Windows Live Spaces, Facebook,Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise, MySpace, Flickr, people; email and other sources.Although it is technically still a research project, C2 was set to begin internal testing at Microsoft in April. A couple of unique Microsoft product teams, including the Windows Live for Mobile a single, had expressed interest in incorporating C2 into future releases of their services.
