RIP MSN. When I was a teenager I used to spend all day in a group chat with some friends. I think the feature I miss the most is the custom emoticons.

I've since moved onto Skype's group chat, but nothing I've comes close to MSN. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic.

It's funny, I have a WP7 phone and the lack an MS-blessed messaging system sticks out. You use Facebook account if you want to send messages through the Internet instead of SMS using the built-in features of the OS.

They bought Skype after the OS was created and never gave it the kind of deep bindings into the OS that other popular social networks (LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter) got.

Has everyone forgotten about IRC? A cross platform IRC app would be sweet.
