Bebo add’s IM integration with Microsoft

August 21, 2007

Bebo have announced that they are integrating Windows Live Messenger to power IM on the social networking website. Now users on Bebo will be able to chat live with other Bebo members and import contacts from their Live account.

This is a god step for Microsoft to get into a social network easily. All that happens is an IM button will appear on all profiles and suddenly Microsoft have practically merged their IM network with the Bebo network.

Perhaps Microsoft will buy them next and turn them into a Windows social network??
