Facebook and Windows Live Messenger available in Outlook

The Social Outlook plug-in connector now supports networking site and Microsoft instant messaging in the 2003-2010 versions of Outlook.

Microsoft on Tuesday announced the availability of Facebook and Windows Live Messenger for its plug-in for the Social Outlook Connector. 

Compatible with versions Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 messaging software, it is present by default in the new Outlook 2010. This tool displays a tab in the pane for “Persons” present in each email, which displayed a history of the last conversation exchanged on Live Messenger with the contact.

Integrated for Twitter soon?
The flow of news and images published by Facebook appear the same way. It is also possible to directly send an instant message if the contact is connected. “Now you can watch your social network while you watch your emails to stay in touch with your friends, family and colleagues”, says Microsoft. 

Social Outlook Connector arrived last winter starting at the propose updates accounts LinkedIn, MySpace, which was joined by Viadeo. Presumably other social networks (Twitter?) should be added as and when still remains a question.

“According to Nielsen ratings, 67 % of the online population now goes to social networks and blogs to stay connected, making decisions and get things done. Today’s announcement demonstrates the commitment to change Office so that it matches the way you do” says the editor. It may benefit the new “Social Outlook Connector” in versions 2003, 2007 and 2010 Office suite no doubt.
