New Windows Live Quick Apps Added

I see there have been some new additions to the Windows Live Quick Apps family - great if you want to find out more about Windows Live development or Silverlight. In particular I noticed that Tafiti (combining Windows Live Search with a Silverlight UI) has now been made available on Codeplex so you can download the source. I also noticed Video.Show (is this a newer version of the Social Networking site which also included video upload capabilities?) and ContosoISV "A professional services site for customer acquisition and CRM".

I recently used the Adventure Works Resorts social networking sample as the basis for an automatic video transcoding service for our screencast videos (as we need to produce them in multiple formats). I can now submit videos to the service and out the other end pops a transcoded version with the settings required for hosting on microsoft.com. That saves me a lot of time and trouble and means my machine isn't tied up for long periods just transcoding videos. So I've personally found the Windows Live Quick Apps very useful. Go take a look...
