This week brought an announcement from Microsoft that confirms once again that Social Media is here to stay, Outlook will be integrated with Facebook and Windows Live Messenger. Since last years announcement that Outlook was integrating with LinkedIn users had been waiting for the integration to continue.
What does this mean for you? Well, say your email is from someone who is also on Facebook, their data will appear in your inbox , allowing you to see the persons profile, connect a face with a name and see their status updates.
What this means for business is even more information collected about networks and activities. Seeing what your client is doing through their status updates could be the edge needed against competition.
