  Microsoft: “Starting today, from Facebook you can view Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents via Office Web Apps with just one click. – It goes without saying that social networks are definitely becoming an indispensable part of people’s lives. People don’t just use social networks to connect with their personal and professional contacts, but also to discover new things and great ideas shared by people across their life. … Facebook’s new messaging platform integrates the Office Web Apps to enable Facebook users to view Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents with just one click.”

  RWW: “Facebook’s newly announced messaging platform will deeply integrate Microsoft’s Office Web Apps so that Facebook users can view Word, Excel and PowerPoint attachments without having to leave the site. Rumors about this integration started to make the rounds on the Internet earlier last week. Oddly, though, Facebook didn’t mention this integration during today’s press conference and makes no mention of it in the official announcement on its corporate blog. … While Microsoft points out that this integration can also be used for ‘serious’ business, Business users aren’t likely to share their documents through the Facebook platform, after all. – For Microsoft, this is a major win, as its flagship Web productivity apps will now play a central role on the Web’s most popular social network.”

  VB: “The step into Facebook is less of a grab at the collaboration space and more like another jab at Google. … If Microsoft were looking to challenge Google in the business collaboration space they would go after a networking application like Yammer, a social network like Facebook for businesses. But there’s a strong statement that Microsoft could make here with the high school and college student presence on Facebook. … Either way, this is good news for the collaboration space and just about everyone else. Businesses can cross their fingers and hope to see office application integration – on either Google’s or Microsoft’s end – in other enterprise collaboration services.”

  IF: “Gmail and other email programs have tried to make previewing as easy as possible for all formats. So, for Facebook, one ramification of Microsoft’s special access is less value for users who want to share a document in any other format. Maybe the average user doesn’t want to share documents on Facebook in the first place, or maybe Facebook will find that users want to do more document-sharing with the service.”
