MSN Messenger 7 Beta

"What's new in the MSN Messenger Beta

* Winks: Express yourself with impact. Send animations with sound to really get some attention.
* Drag and Drop Backgrounds: See an image you like? Drag it to your MSN Messenger window to set it as your background.
* Set Status Before Logon: See who's online before others know you've logged in by setting your status! Subsequent logons can start you up in stealth mode."

Haven't installed this yet, but will do soon. Not sure I like the 'winks' idea so much, but some of the other features sound OK.

Oh, and while we're here there's the new MSN blogging service, which does exactly the same as Blogger from the sounds of it. *Yawn*.
