Back at MIX, the Live Platform Services team announced a new standard APP-based protocol for accessing your Live data, and at Web 2.0 the Live Mesh team has announced plans to extend that API with synchronization-ready access to data, devices, application and activity feeds. Ori Amiga shows a number of demos showing the native Mesh feeds, WPF applications using Mesh, a Silverlight client that supports working on and offline, a custom Facebook application that syncs Facebook photos with Live Mesh, a Mac client that sends photos to Live Mesh and even LINQ queries over Mesh objects.

It is a very, very good idea, and it is easy to come up with really cool things to do with it. The problem is that where is the guarantee that it will be there in 5 years? After CardSpaces, I had thought MS had learned something from the Passport fiasco, but this makes me wonder. You have to have a pretty compelling reason nowadays to host your production hardware yourself, there are so many benefits to outsourcing to a third party at this point. I could see the same thing happening with services.
Identity platforms are a great idea, but noone is going to buy into a web service that is completely controlled by MS. For the same reason, this SOA platform needs to go the way of cardspace. Productize the platform itself, and set yourself up as the primary provider, and youll make a mint.
