Advantages: Free service, reliable

Disadvantages: Random friend requests

I have been using MSN Messenger now for nearly 8 years and what i love most about this service is the simplicity and ease of use.

This software is in no way complicated but yet has great features that allow you to do everything you need. Simply add a contact by typing in their email address and you will chatting as soon as that person accepts your request.

One thing i do find is that i receive alot of random request for friends this could be because of my email address but maybe some sort of filter would help reduce this.

The interface is easy to use, allowing you to add smiley faces, and change the fonts etc, you can also make voice recordings and if you have a web cam you can have a video conversation all for free! You are able to create headings to allow you to sort your contacts for example friends, family etc! You will be notifed when a friend comes online and goes offline and can start a chat with anyone online.

The service its self is very reliable, i have only had a handful of events when i have been unable to connect due to network issues but the service is fast and efficient!

The installation also only takes minutes and requires hardly any disc space. However as with all software make sure you check the system requirements meet that of yours before installing this can be found on the website.

Add the messenger plus service (search google for messenger plus) which gives you some added features such as be able to log conversations, and set messages if you are away and this is a superb service especially considering its totally free!

Summary: IF you want to chat online, nothing beats MSN messenger
