Get Messenger and stay in touch
Windows Live Messenger makes it easier than ever to stay connected to the people you care about.

MSN Messenger is an instant-messaging program that notifies you when your friends are online so you can send messages or chat with several friends at once. In addition, MSN Messenger notifies you when you have new e-mail in your Hotmail account and allows you to access your inbox with the click of a button. You have full control over who can contact you and view whether you are online. At any time, you can see a list of all users who have added you to their lists, and you can easily block them if you choose to do so. You can also invite someone in your list to meet over the Internet
or to play an Internet game using NetMeeting. The program will even notify you when someone you are communicating with is typing so you can avoid overlapping messages.

Favorites and groups
Put the people you chat with most at the top of your contacts, so you easily see when they’re online. Want to chat with several people in one window? Just set up a group.

Customize
Show off your personal style with custom scenes, animated display pictures, and signature sounds.

Share photos
Look at photos together, right in the conversation window. And Messenger tells you when people you know post new photos on Windows Live.

Mobile and web
Using a public computer without Messenger? No problem! You can chat on the web from Windows Live Hotmail. Or, use Messenger on your mobile phone.
