Anyone got tweegee? by yoinkster on 04-11-2010 at 10:17 PM

Hey guys,

I just noticed a new icon on my chat windows for tweegee (whatever that is). I don't recall installing anything and I certainly didn't click on anything I shouldn't have.

Is this a Plus thing or an MSN thing or have I been raped somehow as I have honestly no idea how it got there!

TIA,
Adam.

*edit - running 14.0.8089.726 and the latest MSNPlus if that matters.*

Plus Preferences -> Customize! -> General -> "Show me promotions associated with Messenger Plus!".

That will get rid of Plus!Games, I cannot confirm the rest as I am not sure if it's related to MP!L.

That seems to have done the trick, thanks!
Anyone associated with MP!L wanna just explain what the tweegee thing's all about and the like? Just out of interest really and to make absolutely sure it is a MP!L thing. I google'd it as well just now and it was telling me it's for 7-15 year olds so cod knows why it told me about it :s

So the tweegee stuff also disappeared?

It must be tweegee is one of the new partners in the "promotions associated with Messenger Plus!".

It's a shame that it's checked by default (which ends up in support issues like this), hopefully SOMEONE will come to their senses and do the reverse (but then they realize they wouldn't make any money :dodgy:).

yes SonicSam, it got rid of games and tweegee which I was a bit disappointed about if anything. I had hoped plus had come away from the days of dodgy toolbars and the like. Oh well, so long as it didn't actually install anything like it used to I suppose I'm not too upset about it xD

Don't worry no funky stuff, once it's gone via that checkbox, it's gone :p (unless you re-check it!)

Patchou just finally wants to bring in some cash flow :p

I imagine by the time I wake up tomorrow morning I'll have totally forgot all about it and continue to sing the praises of Plus to anyone who doesn't use it :P

Maybe *I* should be the one getting paid!
