Well it's not as big as Groove being acquired by Microsoft, but for me personally it's as big as Ray Ozzie taking up a position there. After a few weeks of serious soul searching and looking at the state of Instant Technologies I came to the following tough decision, in three weeks I will be up rooting and moving to Seattle to start work for a very large software company (yes that one), I'll be working in a new group working on an experimental product involving the integration of Realtime communications and GPS devices, I can't really say more about the actual product but from what' I've already seen I'm pretty excited and impressed by the whole thing. I had an interview in Paris with the head of the group Lirpa Sloof, a Swedish guy who was kind enough to stop be to see me on the way back from his Christmas vacation back home.

I think this is a great opportunity for me personally, and I know I am leaving Instant Technologies having formed a strong group of people with broad skills and in a strong position to carry on their growth and great work in the Enterprise Instant Messaging space.

Anyone want to help me back some boxes? Sorry if this is the first you heard of it, but I was so busy getting back into the country and loads of other stuff I didn't get an opportunity to tell many people.
