Microsoft Mixes VoIP, Video, Blogging
Posted Apr 8, 2005, 9:45 AM ET by Ted Wallingford
Haven’t used MSNMessenger in a while? Maybe you’re a Mac user who’s
urked by the disparity of features on the Mac version—or maybe you just
hate Microsoft and you use AIM just to spite them. But MSN Messenger is
worth another look, because it does some pretty cool stuff, like
SIP-based Voice over IP and Video calls (though not with the elegence
of iChat AV). Version 7 of MSN Messenger even lets users share photos and
blog through Microsoft’s MSN Spaces, a members-only blogging service.
Of course, if you run Linux or OS X, there may be better tools out
there, but it’s interesting to see Microsoft further-integrating VoIP
and IM, but respecting the standards (SIP, namely) while they’re at it!
