You're totally bumming me out, man. Seriously though, not sure why you decided to unload on me, but whatever. If you're happy with MSN and Yahoo interoperating, good for you -- knock yourself out. For me, Trillian and Meebo have let me talk to friends on MSN and Yahoo for years now, so I guess that's why I'm so unexcited. As for the "limited experience," they offer compared with MSN, I guess all those ads and offers and IM chat icons and "nudges" and eye-candy crap is tough to live without., eh? Oh, and thanks for at least skimming a few recent posts to give yourself a bit more ammo to diss me with. Rock on, dude. Whoa, Stu — why all the negative vibes, dude?

But for people who actually use the services -- give or take a couple hundred million people -- it's a very nice thing, especially since it was implemented better than I was expecting. I'm not fond of the limited experience you get with the Trilians and Meebos (or that hardly anybody uses Gtalk, which most definitely doesn't let me interoperate with everyone. Jabber? Please.), not to mention having to create an account for every system I want to interoperate with. Now I only need a single account total to use both MSN/Live and Yahoo networks. And the reason why some people are actually excited about it today, even though it was announced months ago is...wait for it...BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY WORKING NOW. I realize this might come as a shocker to those who care about Gdrive rumors, Rocketbimbo gossip, and MySpace vs. Yahoo more than they care about actually *getting things done* with any of the products endlessly talked about in the Web 2.0 Hyposphere. Seriously, I can see you saying "Wake me up when it happens" when they originally announced it. But now that people are finally getting a chance to make use of it, it seems pretty silly for you to not understand why people would be making a big deal about it.
