Google and Yahoo to partner on IM | |
|

| Time: 00:29 EST/05:29 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Most of the attention to the recent Google/Yahoo partnership has focused on the two companies' search advertising plans, but the deal has implications for instant messaging, too. "In addition," reads the companies' press release, "Yahoo and Google agreed to enable interoperability between their respective instant messaging services, bringing easier and broader communication to users." So far, exactly what that means is anyone's guess. But the IM market could certainly benefit from a little more interoperability. Despite the fact that IM use is on the rise among home users and businesses alike, each separate IM network remains a walled garden, independent of all the others. Getting them to work together — similar to how e-mail works — would benefit everyone. | ||

Google - Yahoo, cue FTC in 5...4...3...2...1...
But the IM market could certainly benefit from a little more interoperability. And google would help how? After all the AOL crap and 'required' changes, to this date Microsoft is the only one that offers access to its IM, and Yahoo was the first company tie into it... So if Yahoo continues to cut MS ties, and crawls up Google's butt, this will do what for people? This just proves that Yahoo is outdated in their mentality, and will scramble to save themselves before they completely implode. |
