Considering switching to msg+, does it have these features? by M.qrius on 09-08-2008 at 08:46 PM
Hi
I was wondering if messenger plus had the following features. I didn't see them in the feature list. I don't mind if these only exist as plugins.
- Video/Audio chat
- Msn custom emoticons
- AIM contact integration
If it has these things, I will switch to msg+ 
Does it?

So, the question remains, is there a way to integrate AIM contacts with msg+?

I think you're getting confused a little here. Messenger Plus! Live is not in itself an IM Client. It is only an addon for Windows Live Messenger. The first to features you ask for are apart of WLM. As for the AIM integration, contacts with AOL email addresses can use WLM as long as they get their address verified. You can talk to people that use the Yahoo! Messenger client though if I remember correctly without them having to switch to WLM

Aye, I understood that in my second post...
As for the email verification, I'd rather do something myself, than have all of my AIM contacts do something. And the problem with Trillian and other such apps is that they usually don't support either or both of the other requirements I have.
Is that possible? I've been looking, but I can only find wholly different apps. But then again, msg+ supports plugins, so there's a lot of things that are possible.

Yes, obviously, or, by using an add-on to my msn that allows me to have true AIM contacts.
Get what I'm getting at yet?

The point is no, there is no multiprotocol client or add-in which supports all the features of both Windows Live Messenger and AIM.
