Thoughts on the new Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus Live
So I have downloaded the new Windows Live Messenger guess what no real big surprises from Microsoft with this new release of their previously know msn messenger what has impressed me though are all the cool new features on messenger plus live.
I’ve always been a huge fan of add-ons a plug ins for my favourite applications and since msn is my instant messenger of choice its only natural that I have been using messenger plus for a few years now. This specific plus is a gateway to loads of extra options and tools for Windows messenger and their latest release with customisable scripts has pretty much encouraged me to start using msn again after months of hardly going online.
I’ll kick off with one of my favourite scripts for the new messenger plus Music Now Playing 1.3.0 which not only allows you to advertise the songs your listening to after your name on on your friends contact list but it has a bunch of other cool features my personal favourite being a command that once typed by any of your contacts, whether they have the plug-in or not , automatically allows them to download the song your listening to a file transfer over msn. So if your ever on msn and see a song I’m listening to just type !sendsong to start a file transfer grabbing whatever is currently playing on my media player.
Answering Machine Plus is the next script I’d like to mention. I’m personally not unfamiliar with auto responders and bots which can speak for you on msn but this particular add on for the Windows Live messenger seems really easy to use and configure yet it also has tones of features so you can set up everything from simple messages as replies to you basic ‘hello’ ‘how are you’ messages you get to whole conversations if you have the time or patience. For now I have just added a couple of words which might spark an automatic response from me.
Stat Centre 1.1.2 is the third and final script I’m going to mention today and this nifty little script gives you a wealth of information on both your own msn stats and those of your contacts from how many times they have been in each status, online? offline? Away? Busy? etc and how many conversations you have had with this to previous personal message and display name changes. a must have for all of you interested in formation gathered while your on Windows Messenger
On top of all of these funky new scripts you have all the basic features I have come to love about messenger plus: Chat Logging, Word Replacement, Hot Keys, Irc style short cuts, display customisation, editable contacts sounds, and of course the nice and tidy Tabbed chats.
