New Windows Live Messenger Offers Facebook Chat Integration

on 08/17/2010, filed in Home > General

Facebook integration is becoming increasingly important to any application that wants to be significant, and the latest Windows Live Messenger that is included with Windows Live Essentials beta 2 offers a pretty useful feature, which is the ability to chat directly with Facebook friends. Such a move was widely expected, as the previous beta already offered a limited form of Facebook integration via status updates, though this is definitely useful. With the ability to chat with Facebook friends without having to login to the Facebook website, will Facebook chat become more popular and challenge rival messaging services?

Facebook: Facebook is a Social Networking service launched in 2004. It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. At first, only students from Harvard could join the service, but over time more users were allowed to join. Today, Facebook remains the leader in social networking, but most importantly, it is the top online identity provider as the overwhelming majority of Facebook users have registered using their real identities.If you have a Facebook account, you can use Ubergizmo's Social Reader.
