Only after ten years or so did I realise that MSN had actually shuttered its operations and called it a day.

What are you guys on nowadays? Or has there been no void left by MSN to be filled at all?

MSN still works if you run it through a third-party client like Trillian.

Anyway, I'd suspect most people use some combination of Skype and Facebook.

Microsoft bought Skype and merged messenger with Skype.

Following the acquisition of Skype Technologies, Microsoft began to promote Skype and introduced the ability to merge their Skype accounts with a Microsoft account, allowing users to communicate with Messenger contacts via Skype, which had additional features and a wider user base. This led to the discontinuation of Messenger across the world, excluding mainland China.[4][5]

But it feels pretty weird to type on Skype, cause it's so much easier to be actually talking. Or maybe that's just me. Either way Bober you've got to add me on Skype.

I'm still slogging it out in my second year of Junior College (sixth form) studying fun subjects like Linguistics, Literature, Economics and Mathematics. I just got a letter telling me I'm to go for some vocational assessment at Hendon Camp though. Commando here I come.

But there's a certain anonymity behind MSN, whereas Facebook and Twitter tend to connect you more to the less-distant community around you, like parents. Don't know about you guys, but I always feel that there has to be some sort of barrier between the strictly offline and the strictly online.

It only allows you to use stuff like that because Microsoft haven't fully turned off their servers, it'll work till March next year, because that's when Microsoft are turning the 'service' off completely.
