Whatever Happened to threedegrees?
|
AOL launched a blog service aimed specifically at teens on Tuesday. That got us thinking about threedegrees, Microsoft's instant-messaging technology for the "NetGen" generation (a k a teens). Microsoft first mentioned publicly threedegrees back in early 2003. Then the company moved the technology into its MSN test "Sandbox." But it seems to have disappeared into the quicksand there. Some threedegrees technologies have found their way into MSN Messenger 7, which also is in beta. But where, oh where, has the full threedegrees product gone? |

I'm new at communicating like this, but my shiny new 2007 intro to business textbook I'm teaching from uses "threedegrees" as an example of the new software technology for NextGen.
It's September 2007 and I can hardly find anyting on google about it.
I'd love to tell my students "what happened next" but I can't even find how to read the above article (my problem, not anybody else's).
I'd appreciate any help at all on finding the contents of the above article, or about the final demise (assume) and current successors to "threedegrees"
Thanks!
