Tomorrow marks the tenth anniversary of Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger. Microsoft says it has become the most widely used free instant messaging service in the world, with 330 million users.
A spokesperson for Microsoft shared some interesting findings with WebProNews from a survey about Windows Live Messenger:
Just noticed this post on the Windows Live Messenger Blog: We here at Windows Live love to create software that makes keeping in touch with your personal community fun and exciting. If you love to chat on Windows Live Messenger, use Windows Live Writer to post to your Windows Live Spaces page and post photos from Windows Live Photo Gallery then we have just the community for you.
If you’d like to make it easier for people to contact you via your blog (or MySpace or whereever you can post code), Windows Live Messenger has a site where you can create a nice-looking button in seconds that will get them in touch with your Live Messenger screen name.
Microsoft will partner with Verizon to deliver PC to phone calling services as part of Live Messenger's new features being made available in the public beta release.
