Msn is an instant message service, similar to the 'chat' feature on Facebook however msn is where they got the idea for it from. You can have conversations with multiple people at once, you just need to click on which contact you want to talk to & your conversation with that particular person will come up on the screen. Of course you know when someone has replied to your last message as the certain conversation box will flash orange & make a sound. ...
...live without msn. I don't know anyone who doesn't have it. I've been using it for years now & it has become almost like a way of life. The great thing about it is that it's free, better than using the phone. You can have conversations using webcams which eliminates the need for a phone altogether. It's great to be able to see who you're talking to, it's like video calling on mobiles but a lot better quality & the fact that msn is free to use! I've ...

Want to hear a true life Love Story? You do? Then read on, for it was because of MSN Instant Messenger that this tale of Internet love and romance became more than just a dream. I am sure by now that most of those who read my work know that I am living out in the USA with fellow CIAOer Pelenya. Many though, will be wondering how this all came about. Well, how we first met each other is our closely guarded secret, sufficed to say though that it was ...

It was a new and exhilarating experience to be contacting someone over 4000 miles away. After the initial contact between us, Ellen suggested we chat some time on MSN. At that point I had never used MSN before but eagerly downloaded and installed it. Then my life took off. Here I was in live contact with this ...

In my opinion, MSN IM is by far the best Instant Messenger around...it beats Yahoo, AOL, ICQ easily. -------- DOWNLOAD -------- The downloading process is fast and simple. You just follow the on screen instructions. Best of all its completely free! NB: you have to have a hotmail or an MSN email account to enable you to use MSN IM. If you’ve not already got one go to: www.hotmail.com or www.msn.com there you can sign up for an email account ...

"...but not just anybody..." Well you have to hand it to Microsoft, they may have jumped on the instant messaging bandwagon (mostly due to the success of ICQ), but they have managed to come up with a relatively simple yet very effective programme. I know a lot of people don't like these sort of programmes comparing them to chat-rooms and ICQ, but MSN Instant Messenger is JUST a chat programme for people who know who they want on their contact list. ...
...people that they don't know, so this isn't a chat-room programme, but simply a way of keeping friends intouch with each other. I used ICQ for a couple of years but became glowingly fed up with its over use of gimmicky features which inevitable cluttered up its friendly interface and usability. INSTALLATION: If you Messenger didn't come preloaded on your machine, you can go to msn.co.uk and there will be a link near the bottom of the screen which ...

I first discovered MSN Instant Messenger when I subscribed to Hotmail(Hotmail is run by MSN). I got it free with my Internet service provider but I didn't know what it was. To me, it was just an annoying little icon in the corner of my screen. Once I was subscribed to Hotmail I started to discover what MSN Messenger was and I also discovered that half my friends were using it already. Gradually I got the hang of it and now I can keep in close contact ...

Well after earning my stripes using AIM and ICQ2K, I felt it was time to go a step further and take on board Microsoft's much raved-about MSN. I downloaded V3.5 with the minimum of fuss and although you don't necessarily need to be a member to use this I already had hotmail account & password setup which works very well with MSN. Once installed it isn't exactly the most exciting thing to look at compared to ICQ2K for example. However they often ...

Using the ADD function allows you to add contacts you're interested. To do this you have to know their email address or by a contact name search. Usually if the email address is recognised MSN logs that name and adds it to your list of names. And from that point you can IMs or emails to this person straight away. You ...

MSN messenger is a relatively simple chat resource where you can communicate easily to friends or people you have the e-mail addresses to.

MSN is also very easy to install and is ideal for somebody who is not especially skilled with computers. The basic interface for MSN messenger involves a long vertical ...

I was introduced to MSN about a year ago when I started university and it is absolutely great for keeping in touch with friends. Basically, it is what it says it is - an instant messenger. The idea behind it is simple. You can sign up to MSN (and hotmail's email service) at www.hotmail.com. Once you have got an email address and password, off you go. MSN can be accessed when you log into hotmail. Alternatively, MSN Messenger service can be downloaded ...

It is relatively simple, but is highly effective. You can also see when they are typing a reply at the bottom of the dialogue box. If, ...

MSN Messenger (Renamed Windows Messenger for Windows XP) MSN Messenger (‘MSN’) is by no means the oldest instant messenger service available but is certainly the most popular and in my view the best I have used. Instant Messaging bridges the gap between Phone and email with instant text chat on the net. The advantage of this is that you can see who else is online and talk privately over the net, adding more people to the conversation as you wish ...
...The obvious advantage being that the service is international and as long as you have some sort of un-metered access as is fast becoming the norm there are no call charges either. What can I use it for? Basically talk (type) to anyone that has a MSN Passport (in other words a Hotmail account). You can add anyone to your contacts with an email address ‘something@hotmail.com’ or ‘something@msn.com’. As well as just typing it also allows you to send ...
