Author: Children Trundle. Microsoft has taken full advantage of the popularity of the MSN web messenger constantly improving the features of the capability.
Except for the attempt to make this browser-based instant live messaging application a functional feature of their service, Microsoft is maintaining the old form of the MSN web messenger in the same parameters. In fact there are not so many distinctions between this web capability and that offered by the competitor Yahoo! Messenger, for instance, and comparisons are anything but few. Moreover, regardless of how many innovations Microsoft will bring to the web messenger, this will still retain its basic features.
Let us begin with the group conversation feature that allows access to twenty people in the same conversation on MSN web messenger. Then, with the upsurge of mobile communications, the MSN web messenger has improved functions so as to allow access not only computer-to-computer, but computer-to-cell phones as well. Limitations to this function do exist but they are caused by the regional factors responsible for Internet or mobile phone availability and by the specificity of the mobile service provider.
Then, MSN web messenger allows good data protection, giving the user the freedom to block messages from unwanted or unknown contacts. The availability status will allow you to stay invisible or unaccessible and thus stick to your privacy preferences.
On the contrary, in case you want an advanced availability level, you can include all sorts of data in the private contact box, and enjoy the details of your friends in a similar way. You can even share music titles and inform others on what you are listening to; it all depends on the customization level you choose and on the way you understand to use it in the first place.
In case you have never used MSN web messenger before, have a look online and check the technical requirements. This is also the right way to learn and understand more about the usage mode, the features and the advantages this kind of service brings.
In terms of comparison with the competitors, there are almost no special elements that would make MSN web messenger stand apart; so far the choice of one provider or another results from personal selection criteria. What is important to know is that changes in design and features adjustments are common to the new variants of the messenger, and they correspond to the need for novelty common to user expectations.
