More Mango juice to bring in consumers and developers

Posted on by

Microsoft shows off the People hub on Windows Phone (Mango) with Twitter and LinkedIn now available alongside Windows Live and Facebook (YouTube video link). It’s looking very swish, and I hope they have support for Twitter lists – no matter what they’ll likely fail the Scoble test for user numbers – but a bit more filtering wouldn’t go amiss.

They’ve also opened up a new App Hub developer portal, alongside the news that 35 territories are open to developers, new price tiers with more options in the $5 and under category, and the expansion of Microsoft’s in-app ad system, pubCenter, to 18 territories.

Yes, lots of noise, but nice sounding noise all the same.
