    Found Messenger Plus! Live Plug-In (Not written by Microsoft)

    Now, I am not recommending this tool just yet, but I am trying it out and it seems to be pretty cool.

    Messenger Plus! Live - The Windows Live Messenger Extension - http://www.msgpluslive.net/

    Three cool features I wish Messenger had are:

    1. Tabbed Chats

      

    This makes it easier if you have two or three windows open and you are not always talking to everyone.

     

    2. Personalized Status


    This will help other people know what you are really doing.  It doesn't work exactly like I would want it to yet, but it is a start.

     

    3. Polygamy (run multiple Messenger sessions) which Matt calls (Polygabby - multiple gabber)


    This is great if you need to log in to more than one account at a time.  This should be the number one feature added to the next version of Messenger.

     

    Tons of other cool things.  I will try it out for a while and see how it works.

    had it installed for a year or so, just removed it. although tabbed windows was nice (i miss it already), i would have im crash or hang a few times a week. so i'm trying without this tool to see if it was to blame.

    and to be honest, tabs were the only thing I ended up using regularly. all the rest is fluff really.
