Microsoft launches video on Messenger

LONDON (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp has launched a new online service in 20 countries which will allow users to watch video clips at the same time as a network of friends and chat via Windows Live Messenger.


The new service called Messenger TV will offer a range of clips on MSN Video including MTV shows and music clips from providers such as Sony BMG.


The firm hopes the ability to watch clips with friends on different computers will create a new social experience and attract users who already spend hours on social networks.


"Online video has exploded in popularity over the last year, but to date it has been something people watch on their own. Messenger TV is set to change all that," said John Mangelaars, the vice-president, EMEA, of consumer and online for Microsoft.


"Watching video online can now be a social experience, as people watch videos together, make comments and share reactions."


The service will launch in 20 countries including many European countries, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Brazil, Canada and Mexico but not the United States.

Raised in the first place crossways the land in Detroit, at 16 she cut her low sides for the local Lupine tag, with a test pressing of the disc making its way to Atlantic Records. After signing with Atlantic, she scored an R&B Top Ten shoot out of the box with her debut undivided, "My Man -- He's a Loving Man," only to flunk to reach the same commercial high over again. After one more than Atlantic release, 1963's "You'll Never Change," LaVette moved back to Lupine for her third record, "Witchcraft in the Air." After a stretch as a featured singer with the Don Gardner & Dee Dee Ford Revue, she recorded the long-unreleased "One Thin Dime" for Scepter earlier resurfacing on Calla with the 1965 lost classic "Lease Me Down Easy," her only former phonograph record to crack the R&B Top 20. Two more Calla efforts -- the okay "Only Your Love Can Save Me" and "I'm Just a Fool for You" -- preceded a shift to Big Wheel, where after just one single, "I'm Holding On," LaVette again affected along, this time to the Karen imprint for "Hey Love."


Following girdle at Silver Fox ("He Made a Woman Out of Me," "Do Your Duty"), SSS International ("Engage Another Piece of My Heart"), and her have TCA imprint ("Ne'er My Love"), LaVette returned to Atlantic, sign language to their Atco division for 1972's Neil Young cover "Pith of Gold." An LP, Shaver of the Seventies, was besides recorded at Muscle Shoals Studios, merely Atco opted against its release later the failure of the single "Your Turn to Cry" (the album was reissued, fill out with bonus tracks, in limited copies by Rhino in 2006). After connection the touring company of the Broadway musical Bubbling Brown Sugar, LaVette briefly signed to West End for a disco effort, 1978's "Doin' the Best I Can."


She did not record again until 1982, landing at Motown and rechristening herself "Bettye." However, contempt a heavy promotional push, neither the LP Say Me a Lie nor the single "Right in the Middle (Of Falling in Love)" proved her long-awaited chart breakthrough, and remote of a smattering of recordings for Motor City during the nineties, she focussed primarily on live appearances in the age to follow. The 2000s establish her in the transcription studio more frequently with fresh albums A Woman Like Me beingness released by the Blues Express label in 2003 followed by I've Got My Own Hell to Raise in 2005 on the Anti label. In 2006, Engage Another Little Piece of My Heart, a collection of Silver Fox singles as well as other material, all of which had been recorded in Memphis between 1969 and 1970, came prohibited on Varèse Sarabande. The Scene of the Crime appeared on Anti in 2007.
