Salsamendi declares that Beam will continue to exist even if Beam and his colleagues are integrated into the Xbox engineering team.



In an article on Beam's website, Salsamendi says the service has seen a rise of around 100,000 users since it was launched in January of this year.



As part of Xbox we'll be able to grow faster than we've ever able to before", according to the article.



"We are expanding our team, strengthening our infrastructure, and most important, we're growing and supporting Beam's amazing community.
