Finally listening to the customer (Yahoo + Microsoft)
« on: July 13, 2006, 01:20:54 pm »
Terrell Karlsten, a Yahoo spokeswoman , said the new interoperability service, enabling users of different IM services to contact each other, is the most requested IM feature.

Microsoft and Yahoo finally begin to allow the intercommuncation between YIM and Live Messenger.

What is sad is that even with those two networks communicating with each other, they're just barely ahead of AOL, who has nearly twice the number of users they do seperately.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I wonder if MS or Yahoo are going to try to patent the idea.  Then somebody can point out the ICQ and AIM sorta did that (although it was the same company, it was two networks merged).

What about the Jabber thing? Wouldn't they be able to sue them? Last I checked Jabber was all the protocols mixed together.

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

I could be wrong, but I think that Jabber is its own protocol.  Jabber is an open protocol based on XML, iirc.

You might be right about that, Joe.

Yeah, I think so too.  GoogleTalk uses it! :)

Also, this has been up in the air for quite some time.  Someone in my guild was talking about it a few months ago.
