High-Definition’s New Feature: You
There’s no doubt that the Windows Live Messenger announcement today will be well received by video-chat aficionados. The big news is that high-definition video calls will be possible in the next generation of Windows Live Messenger. Up to now, webcam users could record 720p HD video to post it on video sharing sites, but now you’ll be able to have face-to-face HD video chats too. This represents a significant improvement in terms of video quality. Think about it: at this point almost all popular video chat services support VGA video chatting. But HD resolution has almost three times the pixels of VGA video. So this means that with HD video you’ll be able to see a sharper and clearer video the next time that you talk with your friends or family, which should lead to a more immersive and rich experience.
It’s worth noting that in order to get the most out of this next generation of Windows Live Messenger you’ll need to have a HD webcam that supports 720p video. Most of the built-in webcams with either a VGA or a 1.3MP sensor cannot support a HD widescreen conversation. The good news is that we have a complete product line of 720p HD webcams with AutoFocus and TrueColor technology that will feature you in HD. So check out our LifeCams and get ready for crystal-clear HD video chatting. We’re sure that Technogran will be putting this to good use!

I do hope that intermixing with Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or any of the other social networks will be a user option. I do not use, nor wish to use, and of those types of places and hope that it is not something that is built-in with no option for the user to have a choice to use or not. If in fact they do not provide a user choice option _not_ to intergrate it into their personal Messenger, I will not use MS Messenger.

Hi Jan, thanks for the comment. You would have to “opt-in” for the additional social media features with the upcoming Windows Live Messenger. You would also need to have an existing Facebook or Twitter account to pull in the content, so if you don’t choose to use that feature you don’t have to.
