 dnLFlipIt and reverse it!

dwergs says ( 18 Jan 2003 ):

I was contacted by ActiveBuddy today about the re-launch of SmarterChild on AOL's Instant Messenger (which -for the record- I almost never use). But I paid there site a visit and noticed a new MSN Buddy called dnLFlipIt. Apparently, it's owned by Dr. Pepper/7-Up Inc. and it comes with the following description: "If you want to get the latest info on dnL events, promotions, exclusive offers and the latest hits from some hot artists, strike up a chat with us. We'll get you up to speed and, if necessary, entertain you long enough to make sure your free time is amply amusing." You can add him to your contact list automatically by clicking here. You need to have the Interactive Agents Plug-in installed though, but you can find that on the destination page as well. Have a nice chat!

 Hotlink Protection

dwergs says ( 16 Jan 2003 ):

I made some changes to the download-procedure but nothing you should notice. If you do encounter problems, please inform me (choose "Report a bug" or "Report a broken link or download").

 Keep submitting

dwergs says ( 15 Jan 2003 ):

A word of advise to people who have been submitting (their) MSN Messenger add-ons & bots to Mess.be lately: please try again... I'm sorry, but the amount of junk mail I receive is out of proportion and some attachments don't get past my furious filters (and whatever you do, use the special submit@ e-mail account). Thanks for listening. Over & Out.

 Where did you hear from Mess.be?

dwergs says ( 14 Jan 2003 ):

Where did you first hear about Mess.be? It's this week's question in our Weekly MSN Poll. Results of the previous poll: 74.58% Messers suffered from the massive .NET Service outage on the 6th of January.

 Messenger Pop Add-In

dwergs says ( 14 Jan 2003 ):

Messenger Pop by Nicolas Koulouris is a Windows Messenger-only Add-In that allows POP3 e-mail integration in Windows Messenger. It notifies you of new e-mails and their origin sent to your non-Hotmail account (eg. the one from your ISP). This is also available in Messenger Plus! 2, but some people might want to keep it simple :) Remember, this Messenger Add-In works only with Windows Messenger (4.7.0.104 or greater) on XP.

 MSN Messenger in South Korea

dwergs says ( 14 Jan 2003 ):

Microsoft will offer its messaging service through KT Freetel Corp., South Korea's second-largest mobile-phone operator. MSN Messenger will be available real time in the first quarter to all 10.4 million of KT Freetel's customers. Microsoft has about 5 million Messenger users in South Korea. [Source: SeattlePI.com]

 MSN Business Messenger skin

Zero1 says ( 13 Jan 2003 ):

I've added another MSN 5.0 skin to the downloads section. The author, Xero, has recreated the icons we saw in the MSN Business Messenger screenshots all that time ago, and he's done a very good job at it too. Check out his skin here.

 MSN Icon War

dwergs says ( 12 Jan 2003 ):

I have a sad announcement to make: the MSN Messenger Icon has recently past away. May it rest in peace... It's been killed on a Chinese desktop in a terrible fight with other program icons. Don't start crying yet ;) This is just the storyboard of Icon's Story, an ultracool animation created by MASO Digital Studio! Enjoy! [Lifted from our very own Exit Blog]
