So many questions:

Live search or Yahoo search?
Live messenger or Yahoo messenger?
Live spaces , Yahoo 360 or Facebook???
MSN Dating (Match) or Yahoo personal?
MSN advertising platform or Yahoo advertising platform?
.net or java?
Live ID or Open ID?

...

First it is good news , I hope it is not too late for them.
I'm waiting for the first cross platform framework which will enable developer to develop widgets that will work on open social framework and facebook

This are good news

the question is whether it will become a standard de facto for authentication.

I think that we and most site owners would like to have the ability to have general information about the user , such as : name,image,age,email etc. The user will be able to define which profile info are accessible to other sites.

Although I'm biased here , I think each of the competitors here is different and has a different concept and functionality.
To be honest I think that in real life the users will chose the site based on their needs and there is a place for all the sites above.

Hi Pete,
If you really want to meet new people and not looking to find your friends (I suppose you know where your friends are) or specific person , Copenda is your only choice.
So forgive me but I don't agree with you.

Copenda uniquely integrates an innovative user interface with dating site features such as personality search and social network features such as ranking, comments and tagging. Copenda will become the portal into social networking sites, because it adds a rich user experience and cross-site functionality on top of data from the individual sites.

Why just sharing the name and last name?
I think they should extend it by adding important profile information such as : gender , looking for etc.

Evorgleb , If you don't want to appear in the search results you don't have to - it is up to you.

I don't like Orkut , you cant perform profile oriented search : age ,interests ,location etc.
I think the Idea behind social networks is meeting new people and the current Orkut search doesn't help.

Each one of the solutions has different approach to the people search , but what I found that it's common to all of them is that their implementation is a variation of white pages.
When I use one of the mentioned search engines I expect to find a specific person.
After I enter name or email I get search results containing list of profiles from various social networks. These solutions are great to find information about specific person or locate your friends.
We , at Copenda we have a totally different approach to people search - we call it social people search.
Copenda is a place to meet new people , you enter general preferences and you get list of profiles from various social networks and leading dating sites. You can use it to find your soul mate or meet new friends with similar interests. Copenda uniquely integrate dating sites aspects such as personality search and structured profile with social networks aspects such as ranking, comments and tagging.
Stay tuned because copenda is just around the corner , don't forget to check the web site:

More information is coming soon.

I have a suggestion, Does anyone thought about defining an XML standard for developing gadgets?
For example:
I like Pageflakes,
I want to use google as my search engine,
Yahoo mail, Live messenger presence - to see Who's online and see list of my friends from facebook.
I want to use gadgets from any site on any personalize homepage the same way I can reed RSS with any RSS aggregator.
