Microsoft Gets Social In China With RenRen Agreement

Microsoft recently announced that it has signed an agreement with RenRen, one of the most popular chinese social networking sites. Accordingly, RenRen will integrate its services with MSN, allowing users to share login access, status updates and instant messaging on both platforms. With the rise of Google, Twitter and other social networking sites like facebook, and persistent competition from Yahoo, MSN has been relegated to the sidelines.
