- billysielu 9y agoNot socializing so much is also valid.
- someoneelse987 9y agoTo me what changed with Facebook was that the local address book that I had on my phone became a tree in a central graph owned by a company and I was fine giving out that information. Today who could muster up the trust needed for me to let them know about everyone I know? I think no such company exists or ever will. I have no social internet accounts left except for this one. I even recently deleted my Linkedin account even though that is bad for my career (?). I just don't want to feel raped all the time. I keep getting Linkedin-ish head-hunting emails though but I'm sure that'll clear up in a year or so. If I'm ever socializing again on the internet, give me something that doesn't rape me in the *. Otherwise I'm fine just socializing IRL. I hope we are a void and that something new is about to happen.
- robin_reala 9y agoI’ve never had a LinkedIn account (and have got myself into some sort of internal blacklist) and I’ve never felt disadvantaged career-wise or even been asked if I have an account.
- therein 9y agoLet me download MSN Messenger. I remember there was a J2ME client for my Nokia 3650.
- znpy 9y agoI honestly miss MSN Messenger. Fond memories.
- matte_black 9y agoMaybe even the return of AIM.
- vor0nwe 9y agoICQ still exists, doesn’t it?

- jlebrech 9y agoIt would be a good time for microsoft to re-release MSN Messenger.
- benbristow 9y agoThey have. It's called Skype
- jlebrech 9y agoand it really sucks. just wipe the slate clean with the user base and an msn message relaunch would be very popular.
