MSN

[Barkseh]

I didn't really know where to post this.

I used to use MSN every day! I stopped using the computer so much, years ago and never ever thought of it again. I went to log into it today and its no longer in use?

Is there a way of me being able to get in touch with people I used to talk on it? I looked in my email contacts but they aren't there.

Nope, I believe microsoft bought skype and thats now the platform instead of msn. I feel nostalgic thinking of the msn days haha

it's so much easier than skype. but yeah what those guys said^

Yeah if you link your account you'll get all your contacts in skype.

I dont miss MSN at all. Skype is much better.

msn was far easier to use for me i much preferred it, wasnt as grt for group convos and skype easily beats video chat and mic but i dont rly use those things ffs cries over msn

The account I used to use for MSN was a gmail account. I can't even remember how I linked that with MSN but I know I did ha. I still have access to my inbox for that account, is there a way I can link that with Skype and get all my old contacts back?

Dont think skype allows you to import from gmail anymore because microsoft are stubborn ****. The ONLY thing that I can think of working is this;

That is also not possible.

But you can export your Gmail contacts to your Microsoft Account (make one) then signin to Skype with your Microsoft details. You have to merge your Microsoft account with your Skype account.

You can use People Website to import Gmail contacts.

never done tht b4 though
