Advantages: Easy to use, Looks good

Disadvantages: Not as in depth as ICQ

I discovered the glories of MSN messenger quite a while ago, and i have been hooked on it since. It is basically a program which you sign into using a hotmail or msn e-mail account, and then you get connected to the service and hey presto you have a list of peoples names. Thats may sound crap but wait theres more, these name are then split up into online and offline, so you know who's online out of your friends. Still crap, well if someone is online heres the good bit, you can talk to them ,well yeah thats still crap. But the great things about messenger is it easy to use, very effective, tell you when 'YOU have new mail' and lets ya send little funny pictures in your messages.

Now i would be lost without messenger as it always provides me with somethign to do when i am online. For example if you can't find a decent site to look at well you can go on here and talk to your mates to keep you busy, you can talk to more than one person at a time, you can have a joint conversation with a couple of people in the same chat window and you can change your status, so say if you get acall of nature then you can change your status to busy, or be right back, so your friends know you aren't at the keyboard. Its a good touch if you can't be bothered to talk to anyone neither, or you can ust block them which stops them from seeing when you are online but you know when they are unless they have blocked you.

Messenger also looks nice, with it being a Microsoft piece of software well then you have got the good old Microsoft window layout which is nice and easy to understand. There are some nifty looking buttons to click on and the whole things is generally presented very well. You can transfer files to online friends, have a microphone conversation, its also very easy to add people to your contact list, you just type in there e-mail address and your away. You can change your name which will appear in the conversations you have.

Its a
ll these nice touches and ease of use that make MSN Messenger an excellent download for talking to your mate, if you likfe to chat to friends and have loads of them then get this and tell them about it.
