it can show "mike, Dana is writing a msg.."

it's redundant in that it serves no real purpose.  letting you know that a user is typing is very misleading....it's not reliable for starters (i've started typing many times in the wrong box, or started typing a question and realised i knew the answer)

if you're really picky enough to want to see the notifications then just keep your chat window maximised....you could only see it for one contact at a time anyway (using tabs)

it's not a useful feature that adds functionality to messenger and therefore i'm pretty sure it won't be added to plus
