O.P.    Newspaper article in The Guardian
Heya, 
it's not everyday you make it to the front page (Technology section) of a well-known newspaper in England. As it's also not everyday that you read something that tries to stay neutral when talking about adware and the sponsor in Messenger Plus!, I thought I could share this with you.

Too bad you can't see the picture that they made for the newspaper, it's... surrealistic   .
 
Feel free to comment here

I don't know why, but when I read the subtitle.. 
I laughed so badly.  
After that I actually read the rest and I was quite surprised. I never thought I'd read such a detailed article about several of the members of the Messenger customizing "scene".

"Still, I've always enjoyed our gatherings, what we call Plus! Mmeetings, quite a lot. It's a nice feeling to see many people coming from many different countries and who have never met before have some fun together, speak in real life."
