By Jay Garmon

Microsoft is going to war with Facebook. That's the hidden message in the launch of the Outlook Social Connector, a surprisingly un-Microsoft-like feature debuting in the beta release of MS Office 2010 today.

This things moving facebook? ROFLOL

That made me laugh.

If you ask around on the 16-25 years old market about Facebook, 99% of them know it, and a similar quantity has one.

It is not going to change...though I did say the same of hi5, and I ditched that faster than a rotten banana...FB had way too many things over hi5, and it is good as it is.

 

where did my post went to? hm..

 

Had the some problem. It was sent to the G51 owners thread, I have no idea why, and when I clicked on the 'go to the last post' button that is where I would be sent.

 

This will slightly help in managing all these networks. Linkedin, Facebook,Googletalk, etc all managed with my calendar, email and task lists in one place. Sort of like the Pre, which merges all your contacts from different sources into one database. I'd like to see something like this go somwhere. Your data follows you, not the other way around.

Yoono had something going, but it's kind of unwielding...

 

The blackberry does that very easily.

 

Ughh, the Blackberry calendar is a nightmare........

Great email and messenger device. if I was planning the next 6 months on it....

/wrists

 

Blasphemy! Blasphemy!!! You lie!! :wink: (RIM BB fanboy speaking here ROFL)

The BB software is more than capable of merging all your contacts with FB, MSN, BBMSN, and the whatnot.


But back to topic, facebook killer? I highly doubt so.

 

What about calling it a myspace killer, or is that already killed?

 

Didn't you hear? Myspace is costing Newscorp 200 mil a year.

 

I use to hate facebook.

But now i think it has interesting interface. Its still really horrible to browse pics though.

As for this i just cant see people using this.....This is like the IT version of facebook where you find your 40 year old WoW buddies.

 

It's awful slow for browsing pics compared to Flickr.

I like the community in general. Spam/Spam accounts are heavily moderated.

That's what I hated about MySpace. It was a free for all. Like an AOL chatroom.
