Could you give us a peek into the future. What is Live currently developing and what will it (try) to develop? Nice to have this platform for discussions, hope you will also answer on the made comments.
I personally would like to see a graphical representation of the incoming and outgoing links. The size of circles could represent the rating, and in one view you can see the link structure.
Microsoft announced the launch of the new Live Search Webmaster Center Blog. The Live Search Webmaster Team promises to use the blog to communicate: New tools and features available to webmasters Search engine optimization tips A method of open communication
By using this search box in my site (www.sarugu.com), Is there any money making program for web publishers?
will their be a preference for www. and non www urls?
also I think their should be a way to remove urls from the index since for me at least the robots.txt does now always keep a page from being index
I think live.com did a great thing by making a webmasters tools :) just needs some tweaks
I feel this as a great opportunity to finally have some influence on the development of Live Search which, till now, is regretfully not competitive with Google and Yahoo. We will benefit fom true in the Search Market, so let's do our best!
This is great. Live is now providing some useful data to help us optimize the sites.
Although, It will be great to have complete data then top 10 links pointing to you etc.
However, it is a good start

I tried your service but I can't add my website. I get an error message "Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again."
I'll try again tomorrow.
"Greetings, Webmasters!"
hi Guys
Congrats to Live Webmaster Center team!
Finally some one at MSN/Live thought to have "Webmaster Tools".
I was looking for this (webmaster tools for msn/live) for few months.
Now is there a way to add multiple sitemaps, mobile (XHTML) sitemaps? and to resubmit existing sitemaps?
Many thanks,

Question: can I remove the LiveSearchSiteAuth.xml from my site after it has been authenticated?
when i submit my site,the error type.
"Unspecified internal error occured."
and i try many times and many site,the result same
Great to finally see some progress at Live Search.
A couple of things I noticed/questions:
- I had to create the LiveSearchSiteAuth.xml myself, why not make this a download from the site.
- The domain and the pages have green ranking bars. What does it mean to have 5 bars? It seems easy to get 5 bars, as our site is only months old and we only have a Google PR4.
- After submitting the sitemap there is no indictation that this was succesful. Google shows how many pages were found in your sitemap, which is very reassuring that everything is ok.
- Does MSNBot revisit the sitemap, or do I need to resubmit it regularly?
Hope the feedback is useful, keep up the good work!

This is something which was awaited since August-07 after Danny's Announcement in his searchengineland blog.
Hope we will see more enhancements on this part which will enable webmasters synchronize their website with LIVE search algorithms and make it LIVE friendly!
I also get the message:'Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again.' when I try to enter:

Any idea?
Your "search quality bot" (according to MSNdude at WMW http://www.webmasterworld.com/msn_microsoft_search/3424476-2-30.htm#msg3442263) "reveals" parts of your categorizing. Since that's public knowledge, why not provide this info as structured data in the Webmaster Console? Also, you could stop this bot when a site is verified and obviously doesn't cloak.
Like others, I haven't managed to enter my site yet due to the "Something went wrong" error message being displayed.
First attempted on Thursday of last week.
