Sunnyvale, CA, and Redmond, WA — October 12, 2005 — Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO – News) and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT – News) today announced a landmark agreement to connect users of their consumer instant messaging (IM) services on a global basis. The industry’s first interoperability agreement between two distinct leading global consumer IM providers will give MSN® Messenger and Yahoo!® Messenger users the ability to interact with each other, forming what is expected to be the largest consumer IM community in the world, estimated to be more than 275 million strong.
乾脆來翻譯，幫 Y! Taiwan 和 MSN Taiwan 說明一下好了。
I’ve actually tried to log in MSN IM with my Yahoo Messanger ID, but guess what? It wouldn’t work at all! Have you got any idea why it is like that? Is there any website where I could get further reading about this interacting between two messangers? Thanks a lot.
