I just read on several websites that Microsoft seriously plans to completely shutdown Windows Messenger on March 15 after 13 years of service and replace it with Skype which they also own. Now this is sad, Messenger has always been my favorite chatting platform since early years of college, I’m talking late 90′s, but it got abandoned by many in recent years since twitter, facebook, instagram, What’sApp…etc. came into the social media scene, I personally stopped using it. I’m not yet sure if this news is 100% true but I think it makes sense since Windows Messenger has become almost obsolete. So who’s going to miss MS Live Messenger?


yes i think this is true and makes logic. MSN became like a desert after fb, twitter ..etc after it was fully crowded like NY city
its true. i recieved a mail from them also
I opened my first hotmail account on 1998. Tried all other chat softwares but don’t remember ever using MSN heavily. It wasn’t fun to use. But Ymessenger was whole different story, as soon as it came to market I started to use it religiously.
I always questioned people who use MSN!
Bottom line, never been a fan nor will miss it.
I kept hearing stuff about YMessnger from some friends, they used to tell me to switch from MS Messenger but I don’t know guess I was comfortable back then and most of my online contacts were using Windows Messenger and I remember they later decided to make both messengers compatible so people from both worlds can add each other and chat. Anyhow this all now history, we now have more advanced chatting platforms so who cares
they’re doing the same thing to Yahoo Messenger!
dont be sad. with whatsapp and skype who gana miss messangers? Their time is up.
i’m gonna miss it
although am not using it :P
