Microsoft Gives Up On MSN Groups, Hands It Off To Multiply

Techcrunch received confirmation that Microsoft is handing over the reins to its MSN Groups property to the social network Multiply.

Microsoft is planning to release a new service called Windows Live Groups in November, and apparently doesn’t want to compete with itself. Oddly enough, Microsoft has chosen not to allow groups to transition between the two services, and instead is going to offer a migration tool that will allow users to take groups over to Multiply, which currently bills itself as the world’s 8th largest social network.
