The problem with a service like this is that it boils down to an advertising platform. Both dotMac and Windows Live are targeted at their respective user base, rendering them useless for those who use both, or need to sync with others.
And incompatibility is only a small part of it. The lack of a real userbase renders the software itself useless. Who wants a Windows Live 'Space' when they can get a MySpace or Facebook page?
