SAN FRANCISCO -- Microsoft on Wednesday sent out word that it will “retire” its Messenger online chat feature on March 15 and replace it with the Skype Internet telephony service it bought last year.

Microsoft sent an email message advising Messenger users to update to Skype using their same account information in advance of the deadline.

The Redmond, Washington-based technology giant announced in November that it was shutting down Messenger in favor of merging users into Skype.
