Hey people, msn messenger seems to be down.

I can't login and others can't....

Well, it's morning, and it works fine for me. Though i'm using GAIM to hook into the MSN network.

something happened to msn last night coz no1 could get on unless they are already signed in

This morning it was working, but all lastnight it was down, very strange. Possibly an attack... on msn?

My sister was devostated, i even think she started shaking

its sad to see that so many people were affected..

mainly because its sad to see so many people actually use MSN.

yea msn has been really gay lately. i had the same problems as u guys, it was only at certain times of the day that i had trouble with it. When i couldnt get in i just used meebo web messenger anyways
I would rather use a different service but no 1 else will follow..

yeah... i got sick of all the crap getting in the way of chat..

like the crappy images that say "hello" etc.. you start typing and whammo.. heap of crap comes up.

personally, i use GTalk.. its light weight.. around 1.5Mb to dl, fast.. and versatile enough.

offers:
voice chat
voice message box
email alerts
basic text formatting.. (includes bold and italics)
and, the best thing of all, is if you send a smily as such:

:D
it comes out like so:
:D

oh, and if you need an online client, just log into your GMail.. it sits right along side your inbox :D
and if you need a client for your PPC... get imov messenger.. :D

/tAK

Google will be the next to rule the world....

I have to be honest I don't like go-----ogle, thefore don't support their products, some of their choices they make i dont agree with.

Any yes it filtered so go----ogle doesn't complain.

personally i think Dark-Media will take over the world...... muhahahahahaha

You can dream.


On the laptop I have GTalk. HaAnywave used it since the day it come around, and havn't had any issues with it.
Use GAIM on the Linux box, which hooks into both the JABBER and whatever MSN runs on.

I have nothing against the majority of Google's products, but every now and again, they do things that make me wonder what the hell they are doing.

Have you heard of Tassie Messenger? I heard its better than all of the above.... lol

tell me more!

just some ideas that have been floating about. If your signed up to the forum you could then download a client and see a list of all the members on the forum for instant messenging chatting.

What protocols would it use? Forge your own standard or use something already in place? (such as Jabber)
