I didn’t spend that much of time reading blogs about Windows Live Messenger, but I do have been using the new messenger, which has already left the “butterfly” family that caused lovely Leah Sniffed like a child I have to say a bunch of new features have come and are coming along with this new version are all very impressive (at least sound like that).
1. The first new feature that everyone will get to know at the first place is the new version allows users to define their own favorite color for messenger panel.
2. Another new feature is the Unified Contacts. I’d better refer to what Jen conclude in an email and posted by Marty.
Unified Contacts is a new feature of Windows Live Messenger that combines your Windows Live Mail address book with your Windows Live Messenger contact list. Unified Contacts makes it easy to interact with all the people that are important to you using Windows Live Messenger, even if you don’t have an Instant Messaging address for them. In Windows Live Messenger, contacts from your address book automatically show up in your contact list with a grey contact card icon next to their name. They cannot see your status and you cannot instant message with them. You can add and edit address book contacts in Windows Live Messenger, including entering a birthday or phone number. If you have the appropriate information entered, you can email and call these contacts using Windows Live Messenger.
3. I didn’t notice users now can name their contacts nicknames. Then you won’t be bothered if your contacts so annoyingly keep change their IDs that sometimes you don’t have any clue: Who the hell is this productive ID-poet again?! After obtain the power to set a nickname, you can ignore all the following ID changes and, maybe, just name them ID-poet 1, ID-poet2, etc? LOL
4. Wow, finally, we can send offline messages and don’t have to send emails instead when either you or your contacts are (appear) offline!
5. And what? PC-Phone call? I hope Microsoft can take over the huge potential market in China which Skype just be deprived due to those telecommunication companies shameless monopolization. Come on, rock and fight for people’s sake!
