Yes but my feel (at the time, by the sources slowly dropping and degrading the functionality) it wasn't MS who slowly strangled that functionality. Do you have any articles on that? I'm really interested on what ecactly happened that time and considering the whole Nokia debacle...



Whatever Microsoft was doing, it's also the case that the social apps pulled back the APIs, as they wanted to own the feed views and push recommendations over chronological view.
