Taking a new step in the evolution of its e-mail Outlook , Microsoft Corp. confirmed that in the near future the program will be a center of social information by integrating social networking services Facebook and MySpace .
It is worth remembering that the trial version of Social Outlook Connector , the add-on for Outlook, was discussed in November.

Microsoft Social updated Connector software and LinkedIn introduced the first plug-in external to the program.
In spite of this launch, we must remember that Microsoft has failed to repeat the success of
Hotmail and Messenger in recent times, remembering that the blog and social network Windows Live were a failure. Even it is noteworthy that a small company called
Xonbi
has already built an add-on for the Outlook internal searches combining social networking with content. <

After the download should visit LinkedIn
to confirm the add-on. Something similar will happen to the plug-ins
Facebook and MySpace when ready to download in June, with the launch of Office 2010. This post was originally published in TechTear.com – Blog Magazine Technology and Business Internet
