Xobni about to be acquired by Microsoft

Congratulations guys!  I blogged about Xobni earlier this year, and since then, I have converted hundreds of people to Xobni goodness.  I love my Xobni, and I find it really hard to use my outlook now without the threaded conversations and file attachment system Xobni offers.  They were one of the original TechCrunch 40 that Michael Arrington blogged about a while ago.  Of all of the companies at TechCrunch 40, when I saw Xobni, I was very impressed!  Very focused, and a very fast product as well.

Bill Gates has publicly complimented the service, calling it “the next generation of social networking.”. So I guess maybe my two cents on the product aren't as important.  But if you haven't tried the product yet, just email me and I can send you an invitation.

You can read more details on the acquisition at TechCrunch.
