Building applications that can interact with MSN Messenger
have always attract my interest, but unfortunately Microsoft has never thinked
to release an official API to interact with the MSN protocol (and so the best
way to work with MSN at ther moment is using the famous DotMSN library).
This morning I saw a news that seems like a new light on the world of MSN
development... on the MSDN Forum has appeared a new section dedicated to a MSN
Messenger API with an interesting post by
Scott Swanson (from the MSN
Messenger Platform Planning Team):
On Monday, September 12, MSN
will be releasing the first publically available APIs for creating applications
that run inside MSN Messenger.
It sounds really good... after lots of years, finally we can have
a good API to start working with the MSN platform in a standard manner. I hope
the API will be released with some running examples to ready understand
it.
Is this launch a casuality or stimulated by the latest Google
Talk release?
