I just thought as a manager of a MSN group I would give you the heads up about MSN groups closing in case
you haven't heard yet.This is a real shock! I just wanted to let managers know to give them time to digest this
and then make decisions regarding their group.

I got a reply from MSN there is no doubt now that they are definately closing groups

Hello Kimberly,

Thank you for writing to MSN Groups Technical Support. This is regarding your inquiry if MSN will be moving
MSN Groups.I realize the importance of this matter to you.

Kimberly, it is true that we are planning to close the MSN Groups service on February 21, 2009 and will offer
you the opportunity to move your Group to our new partner service, Multiply. We want you to be able to keep
your Group together, so we partnered with Multiply to create a migration process that moves your Group to their
service to preserve your online community and its history.

The migration method that Multiply has built for you will be ready next week. Once the service is ready we'll send
all of our users an email and will post notices within the MSN Groups site with more information, including instructions
for beginning the migration process.In the meantime you can visit http://Multiply.com to get to know the service and
see some of the thousands of groups they host already.

Many users are asking why we are closing MSN Groups. We want to provide our customers with the most current
and user friendly technology available today and we made the difficult decision to close the MSN Groups service as
part of our overall investment in updating and re-aligning our online services with Windows Live. In the long term we
believe that closing the service is the best way to continue to offer innovative, best of breed services that help you stay
in touch with the people you care about.
It's very important to us that you still have access to your Group and its data and that is why we have partnered with
Multiply,so you can keep your Group going into the future despite the closure of MSN Groups.

Between today and February 21, 2009 nothing will change about the MSN Groups service except that we will
remove the option to add more storage to your group. Other features will remain until the service is shut down and
you can use it the same way you do today until the date of closure. Watch the site and your email inbox over the next
week as we will post updated information there, including a more detailed outline of your options and next steps.

We appreciate your continued support as we strive to provide you with the highest quality service available.
Thank you for using MSN Groups.

Sincerely,

Dot
MSN Groups Technical Support
