A lot of people on LG used to use MSN, and it was great because everyone used it. Then everyone started using skype in their personal lives to chat with people and stuff over webcam, so then it became easier to just start talking to people over Skype. Besides voice chat and video chat and stuff it doesn't have much over MSN, besides being newer and having more users now. I use it now because most people have shifted over, and you can't find many LGers or people from forums and stuff on MSN anymore, they're mostly on skype now.
