Windows Live Messenger Program Managers talk about Wave 3: LiveSide interview part 2 of 3

In part one of our interview, Alton Kwok talked about some of the new features in the new Messenger beta, including an interesting history of “the pawn”, and how it finally was replaced in Messenger Wave 3 with “the chiclet”.  Next up is Brian Moudy, who works on Groups, and is “incredibly excited” about the possibilities:

(While we get our video hosting all figured out, here’s a couple of screenshots of Alton, Brian, and Marisol):

I’ll have part three up soon, where Marisol talks about design, and the group talks about what it means to be a Program Manager.  Good stuff.

"...And better linking to the web in terms of communication - taking in from within Messenger [client] and having it on the web. You can have some sort of way to go back to look at previous topics of conversation in Messenger, and vice versa [like] getting information from the web and back into Messenger. So that it's a real seemless experience between the two...."

I'd be interested to know how this can/will be done - will Messenger conversation history be available on the web [and vice versa]?

@damaster:

That really would be very handy! I don't even understand why none of the friends I know actually use the feature of saving thier conversation history! :S Especially the part to see the last part of the last conversation in the new conversation window - again, very handy!
