Microsoft buys Xobni?

Back in February I wrote about how much I liked Xobni for Outlook. Now Fred Wilson reports thats Microsoft has bought Xobni. Fred is linking to this Techcrunch article on it. Though it is still sketchy at this point, I think it would be a great pick up for Microsoft. After using it for a few months, I find it very useful. I think picking it up now, while still in beta is a cheap deal for Microsoft and will save them a ton of money having to buy it later!

Congrats to the team at Xobni for building a product that had obvious appeal.
