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.

LiveID does support federated authentication, so you could use the service while authenticating against your own identity provider. That requires you to get a partner agreement to setup. Whether they can enable this for individuals, say via Information Cards and their integration with OpenID STS is a good question.

Of course, you're also free to use the same protocols to create your own mesh.
