Windows Live Groups appears on MS internal sites

Posted by Ankur Mittal 7 October, 2008

I was just looking through some of the sites and finally saw this page-http://groups.live-int.com/ though earlier I had posted about it but their wasn’t any confirmation.This site is probably the Windows Live team’s internal site.

Though the site doesn’t have any graphics or so but it pretty much confirms that Windows Live Groups is coming. So probably it would replace the old MSN groups.

Here is what the page reads-

Get a group going on Windows Live

Bring your team, club, or any group of people together online.

Your group’s webpage

Create a custom webpage where everyone can see the latest group activities.

Easy planning

The shared calendar makes it easy to see who’s busy when, and plan your next group event.

Staying in touch

Share photos, start discussions, send e-mail, or IM with the whole group at once.

 Update:We were able to signup and look deeply in the Windows Live Group

Just sign up here- https://signup.live-int.com/ (Windows Live Wave 3 looks indeed,and thing to note the usual Windows Live mail address does not work so you have to create a new one) if you are more eager to have a look at the Windows Live Groups page

signup windows

After signing up just enter the following link http://groups.live-int.com/ and you would be taken to the page as shown below

 Windows Live groups

After playing a bit more with the site we were able to reach the Groups creation page(though the link in the above image doesn’t work.Here is how the page looks

The create option wasn’t working so we weren’t able to go further but one thing to note they have added some new themes.

We would be posting more info whenever available

The create button is disabled.. just need to find a way how to run the javascript needed to submit the form..

function gcr_invoke(action, p1, p2)
{
try
{
if (!$sn_grpcreate.initialized())
{
$sn_grpcreate.init(”createform”, “txt_name”, “txt_alias”,
“btn_create”, “btn_cancel”, “frm_action”,
“create”, “http://groups.live-int.com/”, “WarningBar”, false);
}
return action(p1, p2);
}
catch(e)
{}
return false;
}
gcr_invoke($sn_chkalias.turnoffonfppcallback, ‘WarningBar’);
gcr_invoke($sn_chkalias.aliaschangecallback, $sn_grpcreate.updatebtnstate);

$sn_chkalias.init(’sc’,'GroupSpace’,'ck_chosenalias’,'txt_alias’,'opt_alias’,'opt_alias1′,’opt_alias2′,’opt_alias3′,’opt_alias4′,’opt_alias5′,’ck_collapse’,'txt_name’,'24′,true);$sn_chkalias.associate();
