If you're a web developer then there are several interesting websites and resources out there to help you integrate Windows Live Messenger with your site.

This post aims to be a quick reference to some of the most helpful bits of information. If you think there is anything that I've missed off that should be added to the list please leave a comment to this post with the URL. Also, please note that these resources are only about the web technologies available, not things for the client such as Agents, Alerts or Activities, and not for semi-related things like the Contacts Control.
