[dutch beta] BuddyFuse by Yousef on 04-23-2009 at 01:14 PM

Hi friends!

It's been a while since I've been really active in the Messenger community, but it's good to be back. Today I would like to share with you an addon me and Jeroen (J-Thread) have been working on for quite some months.

BuddyFuse seamlessly integrates other networks into Windows Live Messenger. At this moment, the Beta fully supports the Dutch social network Hyves. This means it will primarily be interesting for the Dutch people here. However, we plan to quickly add support for Facebook and Google Talk as well. As far as I know, BuddyFuse is the first addon that adds support for other chat networks to Messenger.

Take a look at the screenshots below to get an impression.

Seamlessly chat with friends online on the Hyves network:

Notifications of activity on Hyves:

The Dutch website has been put online today as well at http://www.buddyfuse.com. Thanks to Guido (GFDD) for the design, and Ezra from these forums as one of our closed alpha testers.

Let me know what you think, or what you're looking forward to seeing in our international release!

Congrats on making it to Nu.nl! BuddyFuse koppelt Hyves aan MSN (Dutch).

Well done Juzzi and Jeroen!

RE: [beta] BuddyFuse by Yousef on 04-24-2009 at 03:30 PM

Nice to see the enthusiastic responses! We've also posted a video online demonstrating the basic functionality at http://www.buddyfuse.com/nl/Features (Dutch, but except for the voice over it should make sense for everyone)

And now also an article on the Microsoft NL site, LiveLog: BuddyFuse: chat met je Hyves vrienden op Windows Live Messenger (Dutch) :)

Just a quick note to say the addon has been updated to support 64-bit operating systems. Also, Hyves users are now added to a separate Hyvers category in the contact list! For more info, see our Dutch blog.
