	Threedegrees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		threedegrees or 3° (frequently referred to as Three Degrees) was a communication and P2P application produced by Microsoft.
		Three degrees had a concept of being able to stream your music to other threedegrees users, like a miniature radio station.
		However, despite the other new features (Winks, nudges) being included in MSN Messenger 7, this feature was not, due to large copyright issues that would be faced by Microsoft.

		Threedegrees allows users to form or join an unlimited amount of groups of ten.
		A beta version of Threedegrees will be available for free from next week.
		Although it will not initially generate any revenue for Microsoft, Threedegrees is regarded as valuable by the company because it may entice customers away from its instant messaging rival, AOL, and may provide it with insights into advanced peer-to-peer messaging technologies.

		Threedegrees also allows group members to listen to music stored on their friends' computers -- without allowing copying.
		Threedegrees could find its way into business software or other Microsoft products, said Michael Gartenberg, research director for Jupiter Research.
		Threedegrees may primarily be a way for Microsoft to chip away at AOL's base, and perhaps make its MSN Internet service more appealing, said Matt Rosoff, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft, an independent research firm.

	Microsoft instant messaging woos youth segment
		Threedegrees is the first application from Microsoft's "NetGen" group, which has been working for about 18 months to find what services will ring truest with the young people who have "internalized the Internet."
		Threedegrees will let Web surfers invite friends to form a group of up to 10 online, represented on the computer desktop with an icon.
		NetGen has used several "untraditional" means for research, including its own version of the MTV cable television network's "Real World" which puts a dozen students in a house for three weeks and then watches them around the clock to understand their behavior.

	ZDNetAsia : Printer Friendly - Microsoft delays IM beta over security concerns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The group, largely consisting of recent college graduates, was formed in 2001 as part of Microsoft's efforts to develop services targeting 18- to 24-year-olds, or what the company calls the "Net generation." IM is central to these efforts, since the software has become a popular way for young Net users to socialize and interact.
		Threedegrees services have made their way onto the current version of MSN Messenger, but their presence has been under the radar.
		In fact, Microsoft hopes to make Threedegrees' collaboration services useful as a way to share song playlists, while integrating features from its MSN Music store.

		Representing the group on your desktop is a colourful image, either from a set provided by the software or something one of the group has produced.
		And because threedegrees relies on cutting-edge peer-to-peer technology – which lets people send information to each other directly, without accessing sometimes overburdened servers – the project will be a test bed for future Microsoft person-to-person products.
		Threedegrees is also a fascinating experiment in how music can be shared legally over the internet.

		In beta release at press time, Threedegrees allows members to communicate with an entire group by simply dragging and dropping items onto the group's icon.
		Threedegrees feels like Disneyland: clean, shiny, smiling and easy to use, but there aren't many dark corners to hide in (not that you need them, model citizen that you are).

		One of its features is that it allows you to share music between a "small group of your friends and family".
		It sort of sounds like the iTunes and Rendezvous integration demoed a while ago (but never released), but the threedegrees implementation sounds a bit more restrictive (probably to appease the RIAA).
		What's really interesting is threedegrees is developed by Microsoft.

	Ant's Eye View: Microsoft Aims at Youth With Threedegrees (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Newsweek and CNet are buzzing about an upcoming app from Microsoft named “threedegrees” that is targeted at what MS biz dev manager Tammy Savage calls “the Net generation” — 13-to-24-year-olds who “are on instant messenger before their morning coffee”.
		However, a look at the system requirements for the service provides some insight: threedegrees users will need Windows XP (with Service Pack 1) and Windows Messenger to be able to play.
		This is a particularly cunning move, in that both of those products have been suffering from lower-than-expected consumer uptake; almost nobody has upgraded to XP except those who buy new computers with it pre-installed, and MSN Messenger has long been blocked in the marketplace by the more widespread use of the incompatible AOL Instant Messenger.

		The name Threedegrees is taken from the concept of "6 degrees of separation," which states that you can be linked to any other person on the planet via 6 other people.
		If Threedegrees is a success--and I believe it will be--then I see no reason for it not to spread to the corporate arena.
		There are applications for this in business meetings, especially as Threedegrees will allow for private meetings to occur in an office, across buildings, or across international companies.

	Instant Messaging Planet: Public IM
		The combined effect, say threedegrees' developers, is that the application fosters a "shared experience" -- which is really what the early-adopter teen/young adult demographic (or the 13-24 "netgen" segment, as Microsoft has termed them) are approaching with standalone IM.
		The plan is to eventually productize threedegrees by about mid-year, but Cullen declined to disclose how specifically Microsoft plans to make money from the application.
		The need for those exacting requirements are clear, since threedegrees uses some pretty new Microsoft technology to work its file-sharing magic.
