Do you use M.S.N. Instant Messenger?

I'm just wondering how many people here use MSN.

PLEASE NOTE I'M NOT ASKING YOU FOR YOUR ADDRESSES, SO DON'T POST THEM! I'M TRUSTING THE MODERATORS ON THIS ONE...

Personally, I use it all the time. I live in a town (pop. ~25,000) surrounded by the countryside and many small towns/villages (pop. ~500 each) so this is the best way to communicate with all my friends at the same time, especially since it's free.

MSN?? What is that?? No, never heard of that... I think it's evil!

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Yes.  We use it all the time to keep in touch with our son (London, Ontario) and daughter (Toronto).  We live in Wasaga Beach, Ontario.  MSN privides us with video phone service to them for free (after hardware purchases).

Ditto

[Compromise 1]

Yes I have it and probably use it far to much. It is also the only IM I use apart from Skype which is for ST Cast use only.

Thank you.

I was nervous about using IM's until SkiGeek convinced that they really weren't the source of all evil.  (I currently use MSN).

It was an interesting conversation.

Lol Ski & Joe

Anyway, I use GAIM, which is a multiple IM client (like Trillian) So whenever I am online I sign into AIM and MSN.

[Praetorian Cohort 0]

^That's pretty cool. I'll need to try it.

I used to use MSN quite a bit, but one day I just lost interest. I havent' been on in months.

[Duke87 1,070]

Instant messaging... one of the most (yes Duke I bleeped it ) annoying pieces of software ever concieved.

Seriously, if I'm on my computer, chances are I don't want to be bothered. It's especially annoying when people contact me just so say "Hi 'sup?" and without anything meaningful to say. You don't start a thread like that here (or anywhere), because chances are it's gonna go nowhere. For the same reason, you don't call, IM, or Email someone just to say "hi". You'd better have something to say because I have no interest in chatting about nonsense, especially when I'm in the middle of doing something else.

If I know you IRL, you can use the phone if you absolutely must talk to me. If I don't, chances are I don't care enough to talk with you just because you wanna talk with someone.

So no, I don't use MSN (or any such program). And if Windows allowed it, I would have removed it from my hard drive long ago.

Yeah, I use MSN.  It helps me bug people.

[Micah 16]

I have had AIM for two years too long... I have 300 on there and I don't talk to a single one of them anymore...

Anyways, MSN is more reliable and I like a lot of their features even though I wish they had a profile on there, but I guess that's what MySpace is for... lol. I guess the only real chat I use anymore is Simtropolis's chat-room.

[beebs 129]

Faithfully use MSN. Noone ever talks to me though.

I use MSN (mainly just to get in Ski's hair).  Nah, I actually do use if for constructive purposes.

@Joesocwork:  You weren't the only one who thought that IM clients were the source of all evil.  I started using MSN and in the back of my mind I was thinking, Five weeks and the machine will be riddled with spyware.  So far, SkiGeek has kept my machine squeaky clean.

Oh man you make me laugh sooo much! How conceited a post is that? You really consider yourself too important to talk to, don't you? Whatever happened to people just saying "Hi, hows it going?".....People with friends do that, and IM makes it easier...I pity you and your lonely existence. So everyone, if Duke87 doesn't want to be bothered, we should leave him alone and not post in or answer any of his threads.

[hello_SC4 1]

MSN, but I also have Skype and Google Talk installed. I use MSN all the time, and sometimes Skype (I prefer the audio over Skype than over MSN), and I never use Google Talk.

[nealos101 20]

MSN, Yahoo but I rarely use the first and havn't used the latter in eons.  Its not so much an annoyance when people just say "Hi, whats up?" it just gets annoying when people take the whole IM thing way too seriously, but how you use MSN is none of my business lol.

[huskerman007 26]

Thats the only messenger I use. I like to use it instead of the phone I hate calling people.

[GingerBlokey 30]

I have 400 people on my MSN contact list. I use MSN, Skype, Yahoo and GoogleTalk.

[plasticboy 36]

I've heard about it, but I've never actually used it.

[Mantis747 1]

I use the Windows Live Messenger and i think it is a lot better than msn messenger 7.5, i started using in it in its beta stage when it wasn't known that much.

MSN is free, easy to use and you can personalise it in so many different ways. brilliant!

[joshiejack 0]

I use WLM... I can't remember what 7.5 looks like now. nOr do i want to. WLM is great

[Ratieya455 1]

I finally got MSN some time last winter. All of my friends from high school use Yahoo and so have been I for many years, but when I went to college all of them use MSN. I eventually got it and still much prefer Yahoo.
