And you could access the list if you have them in your contact list. It would allow you to see when they were usually on...or when they'y weren't. Just something which would be interesting if it could work.
This is not possible unless all your contacts have a system installed* which logs their actions.
* with a system installed, I mean something like (CyBeRDuDe) is talking about or a kind of bot which
they must add to
their contactlist...

@(CyBeRDuDe): I don't think it is that what he means. He wants to be able to track the actions of all his contacts as if he was logged in. The Messenger Uptime Project tracks only your own account and that of the other Messenger Uptime Project users, not of your contacts per se...
Although everybody probably wants to know the actions by their contacts when you're not logged in to Messenger, it is impossible to know without your contacts adding a bot or using a system like Messenger Uptime Project. And I for one, don't wanna add a bot or install such a project so my contacts could know what I do when I'm online. If they want to know that, then they just have to be logged in, simple as that. I'm not going to install or add something to my computer so they could know what I'm doing. And I think many people feel that way too...
