MySpaceIM

The MySpace answer to MSN Messenger

MySpaceIM is especially designed for messaging amongst your MySpace friends and networks.

As well as MySpace, you can use Skype, although you have to imort contacts from Skype, and you ‘call’ using your MySpace name. The app itself is quite attractive, and has a range of skins for you to choose. Like Live Messenger, there are emoticons and actions to use in conversation. Not that these are louder in style than you’ll see on Messenger. Accessing your Myspace inbox or homepage is a click away, although they open in your browser. You can also access music your friends are listening to, and a MySpaceIM ChatRoom.

With Skype contacts added, MySpaceIM can look cluttered, but Skype itself works fine within the program. Like MySpace itself, the IM is brash and in your face, and so tends to attract younger users more. If you can live with that style, MySpace is a perfectly functioning messenger.

If you spend a lot of time on MySpace, this IM client is the perfect way to chat and keep up with your friends.
