Only a yr following setting up FUSE Labs being a dedicated social-computing lab, Microsoft is shifting the crew into its Microsoft Study division.Future Social Experiences (FUSE) Labs was established by Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie — who announced this past fall that he is leaving Microsoft. FUSE Labs, headed by General Manager Lili Cheng,
Buy Windows 7, was an amalgamation of Cheng’s Microsoft Analysis (MSR) Creative Systems group and two other labs that were already under Ozzie: Rich Media Labs,
Microsoft Office Standard 2010, in Redmond, Wash.,
Windows 7 Pro Key, and Starup Labs, based in Cambridge, Mass.Cheng tweeted about FUSE being moved to Microsoft Investigation on November 16.FUSE has launched several social-computing focused projects in the past year, including a Twitter-viewing tool, Emporia; a social-network organization tool, Spindex; Bing Twitter; and a mashup of Office Web Apps and Facebook, Microsoft Docs.FUSE also was working on a competitor to Adobe;s LightRoom product with a social-networking twist (codenamed “SmartFlow”), but so far has not delivered any test builds or releases to the public.FUSE is introducing this week another new project, Montage, which is a tool that blends blogging and search.I;ve asked Microsoft for more information about the decision to move FUSE to Microsoft Research. If and when I hear back, I;ll update this post with more details.Update: A spokesperson said there were “no changes to discuss.”He added:“We’re shifting ahead full-steam with our work and are excited to continue our charter of creating new social,
