Loki Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Lync has pretty much replaced it for office communication anyway, which is all I've used it for for the last 5 years. Â There was a time though, in the late 90s/ early 2000s, when it was a wild and exciting thing, like the second coming of IRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nexus Posted November 7, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 I still use MSN messenger, albeit via Pidgin, to talk to my long distance girlfriend. Â Many an hour was wasted chatting up girls from allover the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted November 7, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 Facebook chat was the killer for them in that regard. But I like the idea of a skype messaging tool for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted November 8, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 Must be about or year or so since I last logged on. The only person that was ever online was Mark Sloan any way. Â Will many people use Skype when Messenger is shut down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SiMania Posted November 8, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 I still occassionally use it, the integration with outlook.com makes it handy when at work as our Lync setup doesn't allow external communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 8, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 8, 2012 Only messenger service I really use these days is WhatsApp on my phone. Which is tremendous. Â Back in the day I used to use ICQ a lot; never really used MSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
