MSN Messenger to shut down at 15 years

[kevm14]

I actually never used this. ICQ then AIM and that was pretty much it. Not really even IRC.

Be sure to check out the first few comments.

Plus this comment:

MSN Mess was were I talked to strangers, who became good friends. FB is where I avoid ‘friends and family’.

Still, just goes to show you how crap Microsoft is at retaining a lead. Skype isn’t a replacement for MSN. Kik and SC sorta us, but they’re closed off.

Interesting comment about Facebook. I can't speak to that as I don't use that, either. And by that I mean I don't even have an account. Proudly.

On a related note is AIM still around?
