10 things those who grew up with MSN Messenger will understand!
1- Getting usernames with different and funny names
At that time, everyone was looking for a place for themselves on the internet. Since having a username was just beginning to become widespread, people wanted to get the most attention, the most different. Differently spelled usernames like k@@n were popular.
2- To attract the attention of the person you like constantly online-offline
Those who had their first love in MSN time know this item well. MSN sent notifications to people on your list every time you were online. You were constantly trying to get the attention of the person you like online-offline.
3- Emojis and stickers that entered our lives with MSN
If you think that emojis first entered our lives with smartphones, you are wrong. We first used emojis with MSN icons. In addition, with the stickers in MSN, we could send animated stickers such as a child throwing a big water balloon to other users’ computers.
4- Sharing games, music files with file transfer via MSN
Perhaps the biggest cloud application of that period was again MSN. Especially at that time, you could share and play low-dimensional games like Minecraft with your friend via MSN. You could also share your playlists.
5- My cousin wrote it!
It was a lie that everyone who used it frequently used for a while. Especially when you write down your feelings to the people you like and use it when you regret it later. You have to put the blame on someone. He was also our dear cousins.
