Microsoft Juku was was recently launched by MSN China. But something funny happened with their product. But it was not just coincidence because Juku and Plurk are exact to each other. They are both identical. But MSN and Plurk are no way related to each other. And Microsoft has got no answer to reply. Here’s what they are saying.
Earlier today, questions arose over a feature developed by a third-party vendor for our MSN China joint venture. We are working with our MSN China joint venture to investigate the situation.
Unfortunately, when these questions first arose, it was the middle of the night in China. Now that the day has begun in China, our teams are working hard to track down the information.
Here’s what we know at this point. Our MSN China joint venture contracted with an independent vendor to create a feature called MSN Juku that allowed MSN users to find friends via microblogging and online games. This MSN Juku feature was made available to MSN China users in November and is still in beta.
Because questions have been raised about the code base comprising the service, MSN China will be suspending access to the Juku beta feature temporarily while we investigate the matter fully.
We will provide additional information as we learn more.
Currently Juku is down. But this proved that Microsoft is tired of competition and don’t have any idea on their next product. So, they are doing everything in crazy way.
