Block on MSN

[oldschool]

is there any way for someone to figure out that i've blocked them on msn?

also is there any way, if i have a mac, to figure out if someone has blocked me?

or is block foolproof.

i remember in my icq days I made myself invisible to lots of people..and they somehow found out.

i'm sure there will be some app that will let you find out. in fact i remember someone finding out that i had blocked them a while back.

The Java app dMSN can do a block check.

There are some websites that will allow you to type in an msn account and will tell you if it is online or not.

When you block a person, they just appear offline to you.

It might just be me, but MSN Messenger, is the best IM program I've used.

I am inclined to agree. Although it does have security issues (as we have all come to expect with Microsoft :rolleyes: ), the majority of my friends use it and there is no point in using a different program if you don't have anyone to talk to, such is the state of Microsoft's monopoly on most things computing these days!

I find myself split between MSN/AIM but I have accounts on Yahoo and ICQ. Most of the services have their own perks.

ICQ allows offline messaging (as does Yahoo if I remember correctly). MSN/AIM offer display pictures and games (not currently mac compatible). ICQ gives you a crappy, numerical, way to identify yourself while MSN and AIM let you have a bit more imagination. MSN strikes me as a bit buggy. Adium (the chat program I use, www.adiumx.com) used to show all the errors MSN produced which are hidden in the official client. About 5-10 times a day I saw a 'switchboard' error.
