MSN Spaces Debuts Alongside Improvements to MSN Messenger
and MSN Hotmail To Help Customers Connect in a Seamless and
Meaningful Way
Laptop Battery REDMOND, Wash. - Dec. 1, 2004 - The MSN network of Internet
services today introduced updates to its free communication
services to make e-mail, instant messaging and online sharing
easier and more personal for consumers. The updates include a beta
version of MSN Spaces, a new Web logging (blogging) service that
enables consumers to create their own personal place on the Web, as
well as a beta version of MSN Messenger 7.0, updates to MSN
Hotmail, and deeper integration between the services to enable more
compelling communications experiences for consumers.
"Communicating with others is the No. 1 thing people do online. As
widely used as our individual services are today, we know we can do
more to help our customers communicate across the different modes
they use, like blogs, instant messaging and e-mail," said Blake
Irving, corporate vice president for the MSN Communication Services
and Member Platform Group. "The
investments MSN is making in MSN
Spaces, MSN Messenger and MSN Hotmail are designed to break down
some of the barriers between the services so people can focus
less on the technology and more on the people they care
about."
The information is stored on Smilebox, Inc.'s servers and is sent to and from such servers as part of routine product communications that enable Software functionality.

new ways to express themselves online and personalize their instant

animated pictures that include sound and that can be virtually
"thrown" onto the screen of a contact's Internet message (IM)
window. New emoticons, backgrounds and theme packs from Microsoft
Corp., including advertiser-sponsored packs such as for "Halo 2",*
round out the experience.

markets and 15 languages, enables consumers to access their MSN
Messenger account and contacts from virtually any PC with an
Internet connection.
* Choose your online status. The beta release of MSN Messenger
gives consumers more control over how they're seen online by
enabling them to choose their availability status before logging
into Messenger.
