Microsoft, Yahoo Reach IM Partnership
In June 2006 MSN Messenger and YAHOO! IM users will be able to trade messages seemlessly, and make their combined number of users roughly as big as that of AOL the incumbent.
Obviously a defensive move, but one that benefits all of us. The article mentioned Trillian which I've used in the past, but it's not perfect and really doesn't address the ease of use and integration that either of these services have now that they will be interoperable.
Very cool stuff, what's AOL's response?
