RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20222998
From a business perspective, I could understand that this was coming. But as both a heavy MSN and a heavy skype user, I am disappointed. Discuss, and how will you be affected, if at all? Quote:

Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
I already completely abandoned MSN and moved onto Skype several months ago, so really all I have to say is that it took them long enough.
I used to be strictly a MSN user for years before I actually started using Skype and soon realizing how much more convenient it was. Over time, I started using it more frequently and it got to the point where essentially everyone I talked to was on Skype, where as MSN I'd have open for an entire day and wouldn't have gotten a single message. For me personally, it was completely redundant for me to be using both programs at the same time, so I made the conscious decision to abandon the arguably outdated program. Times have changed and everyone seems to be migrating along with it. |

Same here
Skype monopoly |
Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
I always use skype now, but it was always 90% for online friends.
since 2001 I've used msn for all my irl friends as well as online. But really forms of communication have upgraded and changed over the years. I see myself using chat on facebook more often haha. |
Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
I use Skype mostly for contacting people now, used to use MSN and AIM a lot.
Oh well, maybe AIM might kick the bucket too. |
Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
MSN has too many security flaws.

Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
Lol Msn.

Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
I really hate the skype client. If there was some way to make it less ugly and more useful as an isntant messenger than I would like it more.
Still going to use pidgin. |
Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
Growing up using MSN Messenger, it's kind of hard to hear it's finally being shut down. I've made so many important memories using that messenger.
RIP MSNM |

Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
This might be annoying since I do a lot of my IMing over msn messenger, and now I'll have to track down everyone I want to keep talking to over it and add them on a different IM or skype

As for me, I only used MSN proper once, but this gives a whole new set of teeth to what I saw on ChaoticMarin's status this afternoon: "Apparently MSN is getting shut down in favor of Skype. ...Like, soon. Shit." Then it gives her Skype. In nomine Patri, et Filii, et Spiritu Sancti. Requiescat in pace. |

Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
I only use Skype as an IM client anyways. I can't remember the last time I actually used it for video calling...
|
Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
I will not be affected because I haven't used msn in almost 2 years now, and I don't plan on using it again. When I did use it I loved it though, I went on it every time I had a chance, and I can definitely think of a lot of memories from it. rip msn

Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
I have used MSN messenger for quite awhile until a few years ago when my friends list of 140+ people disappeared for some odd reason. Good times since 2004-2008... could care less what happens to it now.

Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
I haven't used anything instant messenger for years.
|
Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
stopped using MSN in the early 2000's
stopped using AIM during college now it's either gchat or skype I admit I do miss the old ICQ "uh-oh!" |
Re: RIP MSN, 1999 - March 2013.
I only used msn to keep in contact with a select few people. Up until I was told my account was a breach in security and wasn't allowed to sign back in again atleast
I've been an aim user through and through but since everyone is on skype now I only log on out of habit but don't actually use it |
