New MSN Messenger offers video and voice services

11 April 2005

MSN has begun rolling out its latest versions of MSN Messenger and MSN Spaces around the world.

The new service features integration between MSN Messenger, MSN Spaces and other MSN network services, including MSN Search, offering users a more flexible way to keep in touch with friends and family.

MSN Messenger now features web logging ("blogging"), and sharing music lists and photos, as well as instant messaging. The new download also offers protection against IM worms.

Since the MSN Spaces beta version was introduced in late 2004, more than 4.5 million Spaces have been created, making MSN Spaces one of the fastest-growing blogging services in the world.

"People all over the world are spending more of their time communicating online and MSN is providing the services they use," said Blake Irving, corporate vice president for the MSN Communication Services and Member Platform group at Microsoft.
"We continue to invest in services that create meaningful, personal and emotional connections for our customers, letting them express themselves in ways that suit them best."

Upgraded features in version 7 include more personalisation options, including the ability to choose ads as backgrounds. Advertising on the new service is more aggressive, with age/location targeting and new text link additions.
