Anyone still use it? I did, but not as much now. They're getting rid of Messenger and amalgamating it into Skype. Anyone got an opinion?

I have Skype but I have to get all made up before I go on ,so I don't like it so much.
If I was going to use any it would be Skype as I have done with relatives .. not sure I would use it with mates though I've not use MSN for years.

So true, the one thing that annoys me with Skype, is that I can't have a slob and pyjama day if i'm using it..Stppoed using MSN years ago when I joined FB..
I haven't used messenger in years. I started using it again a couple of years ago, but then I realised that the person MSN'ing me was actually only trying to manipulate me in to doing crap they would never have the balls to do themselves.
As for Skype, I've used it once, but to be honest when I'm at home on my computer I'm in my nightwear with no make up and hair all over the place, so the last thing I'm about to do it start having webcam skype chats with anyone.
I've got one contact that every now and again talks to me on Messenger. Not sure that Iike the Skype thing and he says only alternative is FB. To that I said no way.....

Just go text/speech only Sprout, my 10yr old skypes her cousin all the time and sometimes they just chat on mics no cam and others purely messages back and forth, im sure you can set it to how you personally would like to use it
I don't like Skype!
I used it once to talk to a forum member.......luckily unfortunately my laptop at the time had no microphone or camera......so I could only type, but I could still hear/see the person I was chatting to. Every time I typed something I could hear her reading it out loud to herself before she answered.
A few days later I started receiving odd spam messages on it....then my laptop caught a virus of some sort. I blamed it on Skype and uninstalled it and have used it since. I have no idea if I was right to blame Skype.....but it was a great excuse to get rid of the thing!
I use AIM everyday to talk to my son at uni. It's AOL's version of MSN. The latest version is the last they are making though, so like MSN, it looks like they are getting rid.
Ducky I hated AIM. I only used that for contacts I liked to plat literati against, but one woman on it became so obsessive (and they had a function that it could shake your screen on their command), even if I had myself as signed offline when I was online she used to shake it and send me mental messages "I know you're there" "I know you're avoiding me" and they were the tame ones. I eventually replied to one of her 'I know you're" screen shakes, saying "I KNOW YOU'RE MENTAL"
Ah right Jen and Duck Decisions then.....
I don't use any of them any more.. tends to be FB or plain old text messages for me now.
HOWEVER.. there was a time, prior to meeting MrD when I used to use MSN, and Yahoo Messenger, and ICQ
I think ICQ is still about
oh & I haven't had the need to skype..
but the boy uses it all the time.. up there.. in his HQ..
I can here him now.. barking out commands to his friends (gawd I hope they are playing COD or something.. otherwise I think they may be about to embark on a mission involving guns & missile launchers )

Been a regular user of MSN for years, just installed the new Skype. Used it a couple of times but not quite got the hang of it yet.

Started off on Yahoo messenger, then AIM then MSN. I loved the random chats we'd have on msn. I'd somehow end up in group chats with people I didn't know at all (most were from C4 I was told) and have the best laugh. Stopped using it when facebook came along though.
A phone call, a text or a video call on the mobile is more than enough for me. If I don't do any of those then I'm avoiding you

You can use it like messenger though - we use it at work to speak to suppliers. No video though.
I used to use MSN a lot to chat to my furrin friends but hardly ever use it now. don't think I can remember my pass word.
I have a skype account but I've never used it cos it scares me
