Microsoft Improves Online Gaming Service, Socially Connecting

Microsoft is creating a new online social games hub, which integrates MSN Games, Windows Live Messenger and games on Bing, so that people can challenge one another, regardless of which of the sites they play on. Players can log in with their Facebook or Windows Live accounts, invite friends to play or challenge them. They can also post their achievements in status updates and check out online “leaderboards” of the highest-scoring players. [source].
