Bye bye MSN Messenger

Do you remember our old and beloved web based MSN messenger that once ruled the internet together with Yahoo Messenger and AOL Messenger?

Now, Microsoft has announced that MSN messenger will be shutting down by the end of October.

Launched in 1999, the MSN was once the love and choice platform for many across the globe as excellent alternatives to Yahoo messenger and AOL messenger.

The MSN messenger which was later transformed to Windows Live Messenger has enjoyed its own time, but today, time has gone by and things have changed and MSN Messenger users have continue to decline to the barest minimum, when we now have better and much improved platforms like Skype, Facebook Messengers and the rest.

Bye bye MSN Messenger

In 2012, Microsoft has earlier announced that it will be shutting down Windows Live Messengers, but it seems they were not very serious then on the pronouncement as many Chinese locals were still seen heavily making use of the Windows Live Messenger.


But this time around, Microsoft is coming out harder and more serious on their earlier attempt to shut down the Windows Live Messenger by even alerting the remaining Chinese users on their October set date to bring the messaging platform down. And they have even started pushing them to be making use of Skype rather and even offer free Skype credits for those that will adhere to this pronouncement before the end date.

One would have expected users to show some signs of displeasure or regret on the pronouncement, but in this case, users took to their Twitter account to shower praise and bid the Windows Live Messenger platform farewell.
