If you're reading this, chances are you're already kitted out with a Windows Live ID, and frolic on one (if not all) of our Hotmail, Messenger or Spaces platforms.
You might also have noticed that the Windows Live experience has recently undergone some surgery, meaning it's now even easier to connect across all your networks.
Home.Live.com is your new gateway, it's a one-stop shop, at a glance view of your entire online existence.
In short, Home is the new aggregator to all of your social networks, and your profile (which is fully customisable to reflect your personality) is the hub for this wealth of content.
Clicking on the 'Profile' tab provides the user with a slew of different options, most interesting of which are the 'Web activities'.
This activity menu allows you to bolt on numerous add-ins that offer compatibility for various third-party services and further enhance flexibility.
At the time of press you can add feeds and social network updates from all the main players, including Twitter and Flickr.
How to add services Plugging in and activating these services is as easy as flicking a switch. Follow the links below to add your desired service, or alternatively navigate to Home.Live.com, click on the 'Profile' tab and find the 'Activity' menu.
