E-MSN being shut down?
It seems Microsoft is quite protective over its good name and as a result E-MSN, the very popular amateur application that lets you connect your mobile phone or PDA to MSN Messenger wirelessly, may be lined up for the slaughter.
[blockquote]Everywhere-MSN also known as E-MSN which is designed for your cell phone or PDA to connect to MSN messenger wirelessly. A lot of Mobile phone service providers such as AT&T and T-Mobile now have the ability to login to AOL instant messenger wirelessly but none have even attempted to except the ones that are now in Smart Phones which have MSN Messenger Built in already. E-MSN was originally designed By Paulo Taylor as a hobby because he used to have to sign onto MSN Wirelessly to get some information from people but could not thru his Mobile Phone, so he developed E-MSN for personal use only, later it became publicly available and gained massive popularity.
E-MSN was launched to the public back in September of 2003. According to the author it has become so popular that it is receiving 20000 or more logins a day from people from all over the world and not just one place specifically. It runs on Sun’s Java Technology and uses a Linux Server.
Now Getting in touch with the author earlier this month to find out more information on the project I got to learn that Microsoft Corp. has filed a legal complaint against them because of having the name “MSN” in the domain name. I got a chance to actually sit down and talk to the author of E-MSN and ask him about this.
