Microsoft Adds Player to Combine Chat, Online Video

Microsoft Corp., seeking more revenue from Internet advertising, introduced software that allows users to exchange messages while watching online videos.

Messenger TV combines the Windows Live instant-messaging program with video software, Microsoft said today in an e-mailed statement. Users will be able to watch and share clips from companies such as Viacom Inc.'s MTV Networks, U.K. broadcaster Channel Four and music companies Sony BMG and EMI Group Plc.
