SubscribeMSNNext: Your Two Degree Friends on MSN Messenger
You may still remember a company named 5sai, which build an advertising business model based on Microsoft’s Windows Live Messenger(MSN Messenger). Here comes MSNNext, which intends to build a two-degree social networking service around Live Messenger.
MSNNext is a software which will import contact list of your Live Messenger, and enable you to browser the contacts of your contacts. Then you can send private messages to a contact of your contacts, or to send group messages to all your second degree friends, if they has installed MSNNext. With MSNNext, your Live Messenger will be developed into a two-degree FOAF network.
Privacy control is very important for such kinds of tool. In MSNNext, you can only browser the friends of your friend, only if your friend has installed MSNNext. You can block a second degree friend, if you don’t want to be bothered by him. Or maybe you would like some of your contacts name, for example, your family, to be personal, you can set option to let them invisible to your friends.
The service is said to be another project of 5sai. But there is another version of rumor that MSNNext is a project of Luo Chuan, former CEO of MSN China, and potential candidate of CEO of MySpace China.
