Does anyone still use MSN?

[martin's a madman]

I'm in highschool still, and I do still use MSN.

 

[Vrach]

Personally, I use Skype, just cause I find it far superior to MSN. MSN takes longer to load up for me and Skype has the advantage of being able to make normal/video calls, screen-share etc. I know several people who are still using MSN, but it's more of an old habit than anything else and several even switched over to Skype.

I'm signed in to it right now. I still use it quite a bit, though I also use Twitter, Facebook chat, and text messaging a lot as well.

 

[JanatUrlich]

Shit yeah I do! Fuck facebook chat or whatever

 

[instantbenz]

i still keep messenger in my auto start. i have pals who are away now that they're thru college so i keep in touch that way. i use skype if i want to game instead of vent. not as buggy imo. especially as i'm only talking to one other person if i'm using it.

 

[child of lileth]

I still use mine every day. I have an account for work, and people I don't care about that want to talk to me on there. And then I have a private one for the people I actually want to talk to.

 

[Requx]

Yeah, I still use it, facebook chat is a bit buggy at times, I also use Skype, IRC and ventrillo though,and steam i guess

 

[Au Naturel.]

You know what, I haven't been on MSN in forever. I guess I did stop using it. Sometimes I will use it to speak to somebody for a second, like if I forgot their phone number, but that is it.

 

[AlphaOmega]

Yes, that is; if I want to talk to some people.
I tried deleting my facebook and hyves, and not everybody has steam

I never used MSN I always hated it because I couldn't install it without installing IE. However at my school everyone used AIM, but no one signs on anymore. They've all gone to facebook. The part that annoys me is when they say they can't contact me online because I don't have a facebook. I have the same AIM screenname for the past 5 years and I'm always online, it's not that hard to talk to me.

 

[VulakAerr]

I've used MSN for over a decade and I don't see myself changing away from it anytime soon. It honestly surprises me that this is a question. It's still very popular far more than Yahoo! or Skype from what I can see.

And seriously... Facebook chat? Fuck Facebook chat. It's the buggiest piece of shit I ever used. It dies on its arse almost without fail a mere 5 lines into a conversation. Fuck it. Fuck it right in the ear.

 

[Xeans]

Facebook chat is terrible, I'm still on msn as my primary messenger

 

[Chrono212]

Almost everyone in my school year used MSN last year. Now there is only one or two who are on there as they all now use Facebook chat ¬_¬

At the moment I switch between MSN, Skype and Google Talk but also here on the Escapist is a fairly large group of friends who none of the afore mentioned IM services.

 

[_Cake_]

No all you do is collect a bunch people you hardly know. I never remember who they are.

 

[PureChaos]

i never really used it. when i did go on i'd get everyone sending me messages saying 'OMG, ur actually on!' or something like that

 

[MarwoodBramwell]

Msn? Yes it works great, and unlike facebook chat actually sends messages to people rather than thinking they've gone off-line over and over.

Oh and you can send files etc across it as well

 

[reyttm4]

I did for a while, that's what I downloaded. Then around a year after that, I looked at it and it turned out I was using Windows Messenger (When it looked good). That really surprised me, but I do still do call it MSN.

 

[Chaos Marine]

I still use it for roleplaying. MSN Messenger Plus! allows you to make huge posts.

 

[Wintermoot]

I only use Steam chat (if I chat wich is rarely)

 

[Trebort]

I'm on MSN whenever I'm at my PC. I never used to like it, but I prefer it to other IM software and I don't use voice chat.
