Skype... Can you still use it even if you don't have a webcam or microphone? Or is it purely a video call service?

last time I glanced at my live msgr contacts when I was logged into hotmail i think i saw less than 15 friends online.
sad to see it go as I probably spent most of my online hours on it during high school.
screw texting/skype...time to go back to ICQ i guess

With Facebook and Skype, it was just a matter of time MSN will be dead. Skype is a better program, especially in terms of group conversations, and the ability to have voice chats without hassle.

Too bad the Skype client just doesn't feel anywhere as polished as the messenger one.

Damn, MSN was awesome a few years back. A lot of my friends switched over to Skype within the last year, and I forced myself to try it, even though I liked MSN. Now I prefer Skype lol, barely use MSN any more. Don't know how to import contacts to Skype though, or at least haven't tried..

MSN Messenger just got more and more bloated and started causing issues on all my PCs to the point I just stopped installing it.
Skype should be able to connect to your Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo and other accounts to check your contacts for recognized emails.

Skype will import your MSN contacts automatically when you sign in with your msn account.

I really only talk to maybe 5 people on msn. But it's good. I still prefer it as my main method of communication when I'm on the PC.
And the reason I like MSN is because of the custom avatars I can make (most of them were meme faces).
I like talking to my buddies and throwing in all the meme emoticons.
Not sure if you can do that on other Instant Messengers... 
It's like imagine if RS suddenly loses it's function to use meme's or emoticons altogether.
I know it's not a big deal for everyone, but I figured the emoticons were what made the difference between the fun in chatting,
vs just communicating (straight to the point).
