2 hours, 36 minutes ago


Microsoft Corp


The new service called Messenger TV will offer a range of
clips on MSN Video including MTV shows and music clips from
providers such as Sony BMG.


The firm hopes the ability to watch clips with friends on
different computers will create a new social experience and
attract users who already spend hours on social networks.


"Online video has exploded in popularity over the last
year, but to date it has been something people watch on their
own. Messenger TV is set to change all that," said John
Mangelaars, the vice-president, EMEA, of consumer and online
for Microsoft.


"Watching video online can now be a social experience, as
people watch videos together, make comments and share
reactions."


The service will launch in 20 countries including many
European countries, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Brazil,
Canada and Mexico but not the United States.
