[news for thread] Here's some good news for msn.com: Shooting AOL's Messenger wired.com The snowballing power of chat hasn't been lost on Microsoft, which has for years struggled with its online operations. That's why the world's biggest software company is scrambling to get its long-delayed chat client, MSN Messenger, out the door. Messenger will work much like AOL's Instant Messenger. The program will notify the user if friends or co-workers are logged on, and will let people communicate via typed conversation. [Of course, the story fails to mention that Microsoft has one leg (or something of the sort) up on AOL in the quest for horny-teenagers. That's NetMeeting, which seems to attract a slew of them with cameras rolling.]
