The smart phone/blackberry i assume killed a lot of the IM apps
Comment on What Ever Happened to MSN Messenger?

well, the same as the others really: Time.
I think once SMS and phone apps became the norm over having Messenger apps on our Desktops all the time, that was pretty much it for these applications over all. It was a long, slow death. But MSN was one of the firsts to call it quits if I recall right. Oddly the IM app I liked the most. It’s just not many of my friends used it. They were all AIM/AOL users.

I miss Adium, I used it for a bunch of protocols, and I customized the CSS/html to make it look really awesome.
I had an app called snakeskin or something to skin my Mac OS X to be dark themed.

Adium was awesome, that was the golden age of computing and the internet in my opinion.

With Linux and other FOSS projects surging in popularity, I dare say we’re in for another.
But, sadly, companies don’t seem too interested in making good software for that sake of it being good anymore. Now it’s all about getting you hooked on an eternal subscription.
