Presence Controls for Office Communicator released

Recently I enthused about the planned RTC Presence Toolkit, which would provide an easy way for developers to add integrated communications and presence to their own applications. The toolkit has now been published as the "Presence Controls for Office Communicator 2005".

If you're already using Office Communicator as your client interface you'll be familiar with the new 'Gumdrop' icons which indicate presence - these can now be used in your custom applications, complete with action menus. "Suck them and see" :-)
