I'm not a very skilled programmer, but I'm going to try to figure out the Plus! plug-in API and put something together, if nobody else is....

I won'Tadd this kindof thing to Plus!, I'm pretty sure Microsoft will improve the MSN Today window themselves anyway. I don't like the idea of poping up something myself at every start.

same, id find it to be annoying, when i open msn, i just want it to open msn not all these other websites, if i want to check the news or forums etc  ill go to my browser and open it there.

Or why don't you make your own page with those links/info/whatever and add it to your custom tabs list with TabServe?
(or directly add your links (like HBO) to TabServe for that matter)

That's exactly the reason why it is there...

How about just make this idea into a Plug-In... that way the people who want it can just download the Plug-In for it, and those who don't want it, well they obviously wont have it, since it doesn't come with Plus!

How about just using the tools which are out there (and are almost specially made for such things) instead of reinventing the wheel?... that way the people who want it can just use the existing tools...

My point in general: Why must everything be crammed into MSN Messenger, Messenger Plus! or a plugin when there are already tools out there which do it perfectly?

I'm not dishing the idea, but I'm dishing the idea that everything must be made into Messenger, Plus!, or a plugin while there are perfectly working (and sometimes specialy made) tools for it already. Explore the things that are already out there instead of reinventing everything (and making it bloated for others).

PS: Sorry for the general rant. If someone wants to make the plugin, go ahead of course. (<sarcasm>and while at it, make me a plugin were I can write documents and save them</sarcasm>)

ok here is a prototype

Un-tested though
