"Microsoft's MSN division moved its newest instant-messaging and Web-logging software out of test mode yesterday, adding new communication features and advertising gimmicks aimed at turning the programs into revenue generators," reports The Seattle Times.
"MSN also took MSN Spaces, its Web-logging program, out of test mode and is boosting photo storage to 750 from 250 photos. Spaces has been the fastest-growing service at MSN, executives said, with 4.5 million users registered since the test version launched Dec. 1."
Comment: MSN Messenger (like many similar programs) has offered video chat for years. The big new thing is that it now does it, as the article says, with "full-screen video".
