MSN was helped by the integration into the most used email at the time, hotmail. It was still pretty good, you could play mind sweeper on it with your friends, most of my international friends used it. they had a pretty good market penetration in China too.

Then MSFT was like, OK we bought skype. EVERYONE WILL USE SKYPE.



Yeah. I miss Messenger, it could have become what FB Messenger is now, but Microsoft decided otherwise.


I don’t think so. Most people I know (myself included) use FB Messenger because it already has all your friends on it.

MSN doesn’t integrate with your FB contacts automatically so not sure it could occupy the same spot.
