Microsoft, Reuters to connect IM services
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Reuters Group PLC is working down its checklist of the major IM (instant messaging) systems, announcing Monday that it has added Microsoft's MSN Messenger to the list of other IM services to which it will support connectivity when it releases early next year a new version of its Reuters Messaging software.
The Reuters Messaging system is the first with which Microsoft has agreed to link, allowing users of the two different services to exchange messages. Other interoperability deals are under consideration, according to a Microsoft spokesman.
