BuddyFuse integrates Google Talk and Twitter into Windows Live Messenger

Ran across this today. Setting up a laptop, and one team we use Windows Live Messenger, the other Google Talk. I know there is Trillian, Digsby, etc, but I just wanted to use Windows Live Messenger, but still IM Google Talk contacts

BuddyFuse integrates Google Talk and Twitter into Windows Live Messenger

BuddyFuse to the rescue! Seems to be working well. Why just Windows Live Messenger? I like the presence it brings with Outlook 2010 and TFS, etc. More tightly coupled with the OS. Like using iChat on a Mac.

Instant Messaging

I have been using IM since 1995/1996 starting with “procomm plus” then ICQ (my number is in the first 600,000)

Now there are multiple clients, windows live, yahoo, aim, gtalk, facebook, myspace, icq, and more. Take all the IM programs, and the multi clients, trillian, digsby, pidgen. meebo, etc.; I have used them all. Nothing seems good enough to me. Adium on the mac is the best I have used so far.

What I am trying to do now is consolidate. I am going to try to just use google talk with my steve@stevienova.com account and will see how that goes. I will still keep my other accounts but probably won’t sign in as often. This is an experiment so we will see how it turns out.

Feel free to add me and chat/IM !!
