 Survey

dwergs says ( 27 Jul 2002 ):

I'm hosting an English and Dutch survey about Instant Messaging for an academic (read: non-commercial) research project. Since MSN Messenger is an example of Instant Messaging (IM) software, you are invited to participate in this study. It will only take 10 to 20 minutes of your time. Thanks in advance! - English survey version - Nederlandstalige vragenlijst (Dutch) Please feel free to share these links with your friends or on your site and invite people to participate. A summary of the results will be publicly available on Mess.be.

 EasyMessage.net

dwergs says ( 25 Jul 2002 ):

The Easy Message BETA was released this week to over 500 BETA testers. It integrates MSN, Yahoo, AOL, and ICQ, has no banner ads, got MSN style status bar notifications and allows a bit of skinning. Check it out @ EasyMessage.net. I'm gonna do a full article on MSN Messenger clones soon.. Hold on tight ;)

 msn messenger 0327 round-up

dwergs says ( 25 Jul 2002 ):

Six mirrors and one fix for MSN Messenger 5 build 0327... at Neowin.net ofcourse!

 paki press

dwergs says ( 25 Jul 2002 ):

Mess.be has been spotted in Pakistan's internet magazine Spider, way back in May. Please scan that page for me if you have that issue, or at least send me their review. More info in Mess Press.

 MSN Messenger 5 Build 0327 Leaked

dwergs says ( 24 Jul 2002 ):

MSN Messenger 5 Build 0327 has leaked! Just like the previous leaks, it cannot connect to the Messenger servers unless you apply a patch (soon available). You can download and crashtest this unofficial version at mirror 1, mirror 2 or mirror 3, but -like always- I'd suggest you wait for the official release of 5.0 instead ;). Source: NeoWin.net.

 new forum

dwergs says ( 24 Jul 2002 ):

Seems like host14.hrwebservices.net simply dumped our popular forum. The new and improved one is being prepared as we speak. It's hot just like an oven. Believe me, you're gonna L-U-V it.

 thank you

dwergs says ( 24 Jul 2002 ):

I'd like to take a minute to thank all Messers who have been e-mailing me broken links, comments and suggestions for the last couple of months. I'm really sorry I can't reply to each one of you individually, I wish I could, but with more than a hundred incoming e-mails daily (including viruses and spam :s) it's become an impossible task. Please accept this post as a mass shout out to y'all! I <3 you! ;) PS: For those who submitted add-ons, bots, buttons or other cool stuff: KEEP TRYING & TRYING!! I probably just overlooked your mail.

 Logitech Adds Video to MSN

dwergs says ( 24 Jul 2002 ):

Logitech Inc.'s has introduced its new IM Video Companion, which lets MSN Messenger users send live video while chatting. It will address firewall issues and allow simultaneous streams. You can download the software here, but Logitech can only guarantee it will work with their own webcam products. It did just fine with Blink spy camera though :)

 MSN Experience

dwergs says ( 22 Jul 2002 ):

Just a quick tip: have a look at MSN Experience 1.1. It's a good looking bot, trying to beat the record of implemented features I guess ;) A review and addition to the mess.be file database will follow later, but for now, give it a go at MSN Experience's homepage.

 msnopensource.tk

dwergs says ( 22 Jul 2002 ):

There's a link to MSN Messenger 5.0.322 alive here, thanks to koppit and RObin from MsnOpenSource.tk. They're also working on an open source MSN client (beta 0.16 is available for download) that looks like this.

 forum down

dwergs says ( 22 Jul 2002 ):

The forum is down for an indefinite period. I'm afraid we'll have to move it somewhere else. More info soon.

 Mess.be changes

dwergs says ( 22 Jul 2002 ):

As you might have noticed, several people apart from me have been posting news on Mess.be. To clear everything up: NO, Mess wasn't hacked! ;) Let's introduce the new Messers on the block... You all know Timothy, all-time mess.be co-worker. And I don't think Kutforum needs a long description either as most of you have probably met this much-respected (ex-)Admin on the mess.be forums already. Finally there's Nicholas from Neowin.net, who'll be reporting MSN Messenger related news from the Neowinians. These new crew members will definitely make mess.be harder, better, faster, stronger. Enjoy!
