Facebook has not come into our lives yet, even some people you don’t even have a phone At that time, MSN Messenger was the most fun platform on which people could communicate with each other.

which emerged in the late 90s and indispensable part of your life MSN, which is a company, was gradually removed from our lives and was completely shut down in 2013.

First, let’s think back to the past…

We had friends we talked to on MSN for hours on end, as if we hadn’t spoken during the day when we got home after a full day at school. The “flirting” method of the period is “Turn On What I’m Listening To” By activating the part, it was to play a sent song and send a kiss animation.

şєкιℓℓι иι¢кℓєяℓє ιѕιмℓєяιмimizι ѕüѕℓєя∂ιк and for some reason we always thought we were “cool” by capitalizing some letters and lowering some. When we suffocate the other by sending vibrations “You can’t send vibrations that often.we would look at the warning.

If that’s enough nostalgia to reminisce about the old days, let’s take a look at how MSN Messenger came to be.

Email was the most popular means of communication for computer users in the 1990s. However, of the fun and enjoyment of instant messaging absent. This required an “instant messaging program”.

When the mainstream internet movement was emerging, there were 4 competitors fighting to meet this need: AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger and Microsoft MSN Messenger. If we look back now who won the match apparently.

In 1999, MSN Messenger entered our lives with great speed.

In 1999 ICQ and AOL were active for 3 years. The MSN Messenger, which appeared in July, was even too late. However, this is too late to reach the top was no obstacle.

A very smart decision was made and the intention was to integrate with Microsoft’s Hotmail. This decision, millions of users provide direct communication would benefit from the popularity of the email service.

It reached over 29 million users in a maximum of 2 years.

MSN Messenger, which was only an instant messaging service in the beginning, has become interface customizations and facilitating file transfers increased by adding features such as

In early 2001, the MSN Messenger service had more than 29 million unique users. most commonly used worldwide turned it into an instant messaging service.

Vibrations, smileys, webcams and more…

In addition to personalizing the interface, the “smileys” of the period, which we now call “emoji”, were very popular. You can instantly send audio recordings, video chat using the webcam, play games with your friends at the same time, send vibrations to get the other person’s attention, and even touch their screens. “The boy who throws a water balloon” You could send animations like

All these functions, for that period a first and an extraordinary pleasure was the source. People flocked to using MSN Messenger and wasted their hours here.

The collapse of an era: MSN Messenger slowly began to lose blood.

MSN Messenger, which changed its name to Windows Live Messenger, with the last few revisions had many basic features removed. There were obvious errors and its safety was questioned.

For example, with version 9.0, the company “default status” options, it had removed the webcam settings and even the legendary login chime that still rings in our ears.

Windows Live Messenger quickly declined when Skype was bought.

Things went awry in 2012 when Microsoft forced Windows Vista and Windows 7 users to upgrade from an older version of the application to a newer version, and soon after, support for Windows XP ended completely. This is Microsoft By purchasing Skype it was the same time.

The importance of social media and the rise of mobile devices cannot be underestimated.

With the proliferation of mobile devices and social media, folks without being connected to a computer looked for different ways to communicate with each other and platforms were developed for this.

While Microsoft has released mobile versions of Windows Live for many major platforms, including iOS, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone (it’s even added integration with Facebook chat), Microsoft has out of the game There were a number of factors.

With Skype they tried to develop a new strategy.

In May 2011, Microsoft announced it would buy Skype for $8.5 billion, and in November of the following year Messenger will be moved to Skype we learned.

With the integration, Messenger users would still be able to communicate with their friends via Skype, but that means Windows Live Messenger standalone version would end.

In 2013, Messenger went down in history with all our memories.

In April 2013, Windows began phasing out Live Messenger. If if good decisions could be made maybe MSN Messenger could be the current WhatsApp or Snapchat. Thus, a 15-year past was buried in history.
