I like to learn by creating something on my own websites that can serve some goal, basically, it's like I always need to be doing 2 things at once. So if I host a WCF service on one of my sites, and consume it on another one, that would mean I'm learning WCF right?

I was just wondering if there was anything out there that provides data that depends on the consumer having WCF? Like connecting to get a user's microsoft contact list or something? (with their permission of course) I'd just like to have a practical reason to use it.

Otherwise, maybe I'll have my ecommerce site send products info to my gallery site. That way I can get experiences creating both ends.
