BuddyFuse is an add-on that integrates Twitter, Google Talk and the social networking website, Hyves into Windows Live Messenger. We've been talking about it over the past couple of months, giving previews of its development cycle and today its creator Juzzi has released a build for public download.

In the current version, you can add your accounts from Google, Twitter and Hyves (a popular Dutch social network). Once you have added your Google account, all your Google Talk chat contacts will be loaded into Messenger. When your friends are online on Google Talk you can chat with them just like with regular Messenger buddies. Our Twitter support currently means BuddyFuse can automatically Tweet your Messenger personal message status updates. In the video below you see how everything works



BuddyFuse has been in private testing for some months now and with new features on the horizon the program should shape to be one of the most popular and useful add-ons for Microsoft's hit IM client.
