Msn has to be the best instant messaging software around and believe me ive used enough of them to be certain of this. Msn messanger os an instant messanger, you have a contacts list which you can add all your freinds and family too and talk to them whenever they are online. The main feature to msn messanger is the ability to chat with your freinds online by using text, but you can also have voice conversations with people from all over the world eliminating the need for long phone calls and big phone bills. You can also use fun emoticons these are little pictures which you can use, it offers a really fun side to msn messanger. All you have to do is go to the website and download a small piece of software then register an account, this is really easy and will take a matter of minutes Once you are registered and have an ID you can either pass it around to your freinds or if you know their ID you can add them to your contact list. You can arrange your contact list into different groups such as freinds, family, etc so you wont get confused with which emma is which or with which paul is which. If you dont want to speak to someone on msn messanger again you can block them and delete them from your contact list, this is a very easy process to do, so there is a safety feature for us all. You have the choice to set your status to online (default) or one of the other status such as be right back, away, out to lunch, on the phone, etc When you are talking to your freinds you will know when they are typing as it comes up at the bottom of the little chat window. You can also invite other freinds into the conversation and talk to more than one freind at a time. Other features include the ability to send files and photos to freinds through the chat window itself, this is a great feature for sending your freind your latest pictures. You are also able to play games through ms
n messanger, if you and your friend have the same game installed you can select it from the list to start that game or software. Another of the great features on msn messanger is the ability to start using a webcam with it if you have a webcam you click on start webcam and you can see and talk to each other. You can change your chat font at any time you like and also use different colours for your text, you also have the ability to create a profile for yourself which your freinds can view. There is also another new feature on msn messanger you can access microsoft .net alrets, expedia.com, get great last minute deals from lastminute.com and also access to msn money all through your contact list window. One problem with msn messanger is that every now and again you have trouble signing in to your account however this is usually resolved within half an hour at the most. this is because of the high demand for the service but the msn messanger team is working on an update for this to solve the problem. And if your still confused then there is a good old help option which can give you more information about msn messanger Overall msn messanger is the best instant messanger software available today and i highly recomend it
