I’ve spent the past week and a half in Europe (London, Madrid & Paris) and the way Windows Live Messenger is such an integral part of people’s lives here is amazing.
The Messenger Web Toolkit team just announced a new minor release (version 3.7) which has some infrastructure updates (using ASP.NET AJAX) but more importantly, we’ve added Offline Messaging, millions of consumers can now send send a message to their friends, even if they aren’t online.
We’ve also added support for more browsers, including Firefox 3.6 and Chrome 3.
Check out the announcement here and if you have feedback http://bit.ly/AskMessenger.
