I don't really understand where MSN fits in. I had it for a while and barely used it. I'd rather text or call. |

Thing is I can barely do anything else if I'm talking on the phone, and I definitely wouldn't bother calling someone to say just three words or whatever. Texting and mailing has a long response time, plus texting isn't free for me or for my friends. When using IM on the other hand, I can simultaneously read, write, watch videos, play games or whatever. I can just send someone a link to see, even if they are not there at the moment but I can also have a long conversation. If I need to take a dump, make dinner or whatever I can just say I will be right back and then we can continue the conversation. If we run out of topics we can just stop talking until we have something else to say without it being awkward, even if we won't be writing anything for the next 30 minutes or ever 3 days. Basically it gives me the most freedom of communication and is free. |

If I am used to being able to just stop talking when we run out of topics I'm gonna have problems carrying a conversation when I meet people in real life. Also I find if I talk to people in person and then go home and IM them all night, seeing them isn't really a big deal cause I already know everything that happened to them. It makes me look forward to face-to-face visits less. Maybe it's just me but I think it has a negative impact on my social skills so I try to avoid it. |

You are probably right as I can't carry a chit-chat conversation for shit and usually don't have that much to talk about with friends when we meet face to face  |

You are always talking face to face and generally you aren't doing something together. When you meet someone to hang out you usually do an activity together, you don't sit across from each other and just talk. Over Skype close to 100% of their attention is on you and vice versa. I would Skype all the time but almost none of my friends have Skype and you can't really Skype on the go so it's not as accessible as phone calls. |

Yeah I know but you can't really do things together over Skype and it's weird being on video chat while you are both doing other things.

Skype annoys me a little in that sense. Even if my webcam is minimized, I'd get people asking stuff like "what are you doing", "what are you looking at". And it's a bandwidth hog.
IMO, texting/whatsapp does work better than IM these days. Downside is that sometimes I don't want certain people texting me, like weird internet people, so IMs filter them out.

They do have apps but honestly how practical is that? You can't video chat with someone will you're walking somewhere. Also at least where I live, mobile network speeds and data caps are too low to be practical for that. |

cpu memory
I hope you don't mind me asking what is cpu memory?  Skype is excellent for video chats even on mobile networks, at least around here. Not that great for general chatting but it's okay. Haven't really used MSN in ages. Mostly we use it at work to quickly send links and whatnot. |

There is life back to MSN, you can use a software called MSN Reviver to recover it to working, i have used MSN past 2 months successfully and refuse to change full time to skype hate that crap. just google MSN Reviver and you can find it. |

My hotmail address must've sounded like a girl who wants to see dicks on webcam.
It didn't.
That thing was a nuisance around here in Estonia. Almost every girl, but guys also, got random contact requests and offers from creeps mainly from Turkey (sorry if there are turks around here) almost every day. If you were silly enough to accept or just didn't know better, a lot of pre-teen girls for example ... I mean 12 year old girls, then they would start the webcam and start jacking off or whatever. What sick fucks do that?!
I'm glad MSN is gone.
