Creative Use of OCS as a Platform
Pictorial Representations of Presence Status
Wortell, a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner in The Netherlands, has developed very cool and clever use of OCS on their company’s web site.

The company profile page contains pictures of Wortell employees. Each person’s picture changes based on the person’s OCS presence. If you hover over a picture, you see the person’s name and their presence icon.
This is a great example of OCS as a platform technology and the power of contextual presence.
I think this example is so impressive because it’s a very creative idea that was very well executed with high-quality photography and a clean and simple layout. Nice job!
