Microsoft Adds Facebook Support Within Outlook

Microsoft announced that the company would officially launch Facebook (and other social networks) into their Outlook product. Following the previous week’s announcement about Google Buzz, and rumors that Facebook would be launching their own email product, we found out details about Outlook’s new integration. The service will let you “view friends’ activities, photos, and status updates within Outlook—as well as grow your network by adding friends from the same view”.
