August 04, 2004Web Based MSN MessengerKudos to Microsoft. I just stumbled across a beta of their new Web Based MSN Messenger. It even works great through FireFox. I use Windows Messenger exclusively now (Windows Messenger is MSN Messenger without any ads :) ), surrendering my Jabber, Yahoo and ICQ accounts. If I find myself offsite and don't want to use my MPx200, I now have a new way to stay in contact. Works great. Good job Microsoft! Posted by SilverStr at August 4, 2004 11:19 PM | TrackBackComments
Well, but it doesn't work well with pop blockers. How crappy is that with XP SP2 around the corner?!? Posted by: David at August 5, 2004 01:16 AMSimply add the MSN site to your allowed hosts for popups. Both the new versio of IE in XPSP2, and FireFox give you that ability with a simple mouse click. Posted by: SilverStr at August 5, 2004 07:20 AMI understand what you're saying, David, but think about how much hot water Microsoft would get in if the SP2 popup blocker didn't block something just because it came from a Microsoft-owned domain. Personally, I say it's working as designed. Posted by: Mike Kolitz at August 5, 2004 12:27 PMI like the idea of web-based IM. Except it's missing a lot of the functionality of the standard win32 client - for example, it totally ignores contact groups, and puts everyone into either an "Offline" or "online" :-( Posted by: Wim at August 6, 2004 03:40 AMhi You cud use www.phonefox.com, www.msn2go.com, http://webmessenger.msn.com thats all i can remember but there are loads just search 4 it on the net Posted by: Bex at October 21, 2004 11:36 AMhi |
