Neowin reports that Windows Live Web Messenger will soon integrate your Facebook friends alongside your Windows Live contacts:
When hovering over the Messenger link in the header a Facebook category appears on this site. The status of contacts is shown just like within Messenger, if a friend is available to chat to they have a green icon and an orange one for away; if you are also friends with them in Messenger then they can also be set to busy which is a red icon.
The official Windows Live Messenger iPhone app has been updated to support full Facebook integration, allowing you to chat to your friends on the popular social networking website as if they were your normal Messenger contacts.
These two updates show how seriously Microsoft is attempting to capitalise on the social networking market, which has been responsible for the decline of a younger demographic of instant messenger users.
