I use to use MSN a lot and spent a lot of time on it. I don't spent as much time as I use to because there's not always things to talk about with people on your msn. It is still a great way to keep in touch with your friends and family especially high school friends and university friends.

msn is a really good way to keep up with your family and friends or to meet new ppl not just from the uk but all over tells you when some one has come on to your msn and shows when they are off line i use this every day and enjoy all the little faces you can get and send to your pals also shows when you have a new email
and you can have a convo with more that one person at a time
you can also use a web cam so you can see ppl and they can see you and if you have a mic why not have a chat

MSN is something that most teenagers have now, and should really be spreading to the wider population soon, if it hasnnt done so already! You can add people and chat, as most people are aware, but you can also have voice and video calls, send files and play games together! Definitely not something to have open if youure trying to do homework though.

What a fantastic piece of software to instantly let you catch up with your friends and family wherever you are in the world. It is very easy to sign up and use and can be used for very many different reason, from basic type chat to video chat or talk chat of a mic.
Great games included to play with friends. Very neat and easy to use, can't wait for the next upgrade

THE best instant messanging service around. It is free to download and join. It makes talking to people all over the world so much easier and free! We use it at work a lot as we have a lot of colleaugues all over the world and it saves the company so much money! I also use it at home as it is so simple to talk to people there and then on line. You can also video chat, voice chat and use web cams etc. I also use it for sending documents as it is quicker than emailing them. It is user friendly and totally safe to use. Would recommend using this to anyone.

Instant Messaging at its best. And this one does stand out as the best. I have tried all the other Instant Messengers and they are quite bland in comparison. I have used MSN Messenger for around 6 years now and always have it on. Even if i happen to be away from my desk i have it there just in case.
10/10 100% recommended

MSN is great for catching up with friends and family and has been improved really well. You can change your font, colour and add pictures and backgrounds and add your own Emoticons or use the standard ones.

Has an offline feature as others have mentioned, which is very handy if you haven't got time to chat and just want to check emails or who is about.

I use it all the time. Also i use the offline feature a lot. In other versions this wasnt possible. Well,,i mean it wasnt possible to appear offline and then talk to someone. But in the latest versions that has been possible. Its nice to know that no one knows youre online,so no need to block people anymore :)

I've used msn for quite a few years, and I like how intuitive it is to use, and its "appear offline" feature, making it possible to hold a private conversation with someone. It does seem to have a number of bugs and glitches unfortunately, and I'm surprised Microsoft have yet to iron these out as they've been around a while. Luckily, it works very well the vast majority of the time so I'm prepared to overlook this. Just be prudent about who you add to your friends list and it should work very well for you.

This was the first social utility i ever used on the internet! I chatted on msn before the invention of the phone and still use it now! It's a great way to chat fast to friends so that you can organise things or just generally chat. I love the display picture idea, i usually put up a relatively new photo and enjoy looking at others.

MSN has really helped me over the years - it's an instant way of communication if out of credit and an email would take too long.
It involves fun emoticons and chat logs are abled to be stored onto the computer.

The received files folder created just for msn file transfers is of much help and webcam communication and microphone can be interesting too.
Joint chat is always good when organising a day out etc, but when too many are added, it gets crazy!

Sadly, people seem to use MSN for confrontation as it is a cowards way out of situations. That's when I stop using msn!

The best thing is the status options, it's great to appear offline as sometimes it can be irritating talking to so many people at the same time.

MSN just gets better, especially since it turned into Windows Live Messenger. Its layout is easy to use and it's very modern and stylish.

MSN is brilliant i dont think ill ever grow out of it. You can use it in nearly every country ive been to and so many people have it it makes it really easy to stay in contact with people. They have really good emotions and you can change your text. Its also linked up to my hotmail, MSN today automatically comes up when i sign in which tells me if i have any new mails and the recent news and weather. its great.

This is a really useful program as you can keep in touch with all your friends on a daily basis. Its free so you dont have to waste money on texting people to see what their plans are. Everyone is near enough on broadband now so everyone is always online, and you can send files including documents, music, videos and photos safely to your friends whilst talking to them. Highly recommended, although you could find yourself in a muddle if you have several conversations going at once, and you can quite easily lose a few hours typing away on your keyboard. Its all good fun though

I have to say this is my favourite internet programme. I use msn messenger regularly to chat with friends. As i have lived abroad for many years and met many friends who live in different countries this is a very quick and easy way to stay in contact. Its free which is a huge bonus and has many extra features like voice and video conferencing (provided you have a webcam and microphone)!

I use MSN messenger almost everyday to access my emails and keep in touch with my friends and family. Instant messaging is not as personal as webcam but avoids all the hassle of setting the camera up etc. and is free. Having said that you can now make video calls through MSN messenger as well! One of the best ways to keep touch with friends provided they have MSN too.

I hav just started using this again, as my gran bought a laptop and wants to chat to me on msn. Its very easy to use, as she has proved, she is 81 and just bought her first computer! The application works with just about any email now, but when I signed up many years ago, you had to have a hotmail address. Its great for free chatting across the world, and I often use it to talk to my boyfriend when he goes back to Holland as its too expensive to phone.

I could not live without Msn I spend alot of my time on it. It is a great way to keep up with friends especially ones from far away. I have a great friend from Australia and the only way I can keep in touch is over msn. Its free too so saves you money on texting and is instant. I think anyone is crazy not to sign up.

This is a great way to chat to friends and family whilst online. As well as talking you can send files to the person your talking to, files such a music, picture and word documentaries. Before i got my mac, i use to experience a few problems with MSN, It use to make my PC slow and sometimes crash. But since I've had my mac i have not experienced any problems like that. MSN is very easy to use and there are a number of exciting features available for you to use.

MSN messenger is a great free way to keep in touch with friends or family. I use to use my MSn more in the past but have become slightly annoyed by the messenger sometimes, just because I prefer to speak to people over the phone. However if you want to arrange meetings or plans with several people the ability to have conversations with more than one person is extremely useful and often can beat any other long distance communication. Facebook has introduced their chat version and the use of social networking sites may have decreased its overall use, but MSN is ideal for private messages, and best point is by far the fact that it is FREE!

I used msn alot when I was younger (about 13, 14?) but now I think facebook and myspace have long taken over. I don't know what is is about using instant messenger, I think I'd just rather talk to someone over the phone or by email. It could have something to do with the annoying fonts and smiley faces for every word that make it hard to read.

I've been using MSN for years now and I still leave it on all day. Its great to chat to friends, especially now I'm home from university so alot of my friends are too far away to talk to in person, it means I can still stay in contact. When I was away at uni me and my dad used it to make free phonecalls using its phone feature.

MSN messenger is an instant messeging service that also includes Hotmail. It is used by hundreds and thousands of people every day and provides a very popular and useful service, especially amongst children and teenagers. I imagine we were all the same when we were abit younger - got home from school at 4 oclock and went straight on msn until bed time. Well, that's what i used to do anyway! Thankfully, my life no longer depends on MSN but i do still use it occasionally to chat to friends and family while i'm away at University so i still believe it is an extremely useful service that i probably couldn't do without.

Both MSN and Hotmail are easy and fun to use. You can customise your Hotmail page and your profile page on MSN and it gives you regular updates about emails and who's on MSN. I don't think there's another instant messenger and email provider that will ever be as good as MSN.

There are always new version available to download woth new background, emoticons etc, but the basic principle is easy to set up, you just need an email address and download the software and you are ready to start chatting.

msn messenger may be seen as outdated by many people due to the more conventional ways of communicating such as facebook and myspace. However, before technology improved and the introduction of social networking, msn was a great way/and still is a great way to instantly chat to friends and family. Not only does it able users to communicate instantly, its free.

MSN Messenger is an online service that allows people to communicate with friends at anytime from anyplace. All that is required, is that users have their own hotmail account, with a personal email address used for logging on each time they wish to chat. The communication program not only allows people to send instant messages. MSN can also be used to share files and communicate using webcam and microphone. Over the years, MSN has developed into a far more sophisticated service. You are now able to send unique emotions to your friends, play games and make PC-to-phone calls.

MSN messenger is a great way to instantly keep in touch with friends. You just need somones email address to send them an invite to your list and before someone can talk to you it shows you their email and you have to verify whether you want them adding to your friends list so its good if you dont like the publicness of social networking sites such as facebook and myspace.

MSN messenger is a really great way of keeping in touch with friends and the best part is that it is absolutely FREE!

All you need is their email address (providing it is hotmail) and you can talk to them for as long as you want online. You can have up to 500 friends which being realistic no one has anyway so it is perfect. You can also use a webcam and a microphone which can be awesome fun to add to the MSN experience as well as sharing documents and photos.
