	Phil's Blogservations Wednesday, October 12, 2005 Posted by philgomes 10:50 AM Oh, Now They Tell Me... Oh, Now They Tell Me... Late last night, I had the Annenberg Comm. 599 team in an MSN chatroom and noticed that our TA had logged onto his Yahoo IM account. Of course, I couldn't bring him into our chatroom so, as the team was kicking around ideas for our class project, I was passing relevant bits to the TA for feedback. Inelegant, yes, but we got somewhere. Today I read that MSN and Yahoo will make their IM technologies interoperable. Consumers using the Yahoo Messenger or MSN Messenger programs will be able to exchange instant messages, see the presence of their contacts, share emoticons and add friends from either service, the companies said. Interoperability is expected to kick in during the second quarter of 2006. Too late to help me near-term, but I'm glad it happened.
