They are very many to use Windows Live Messenger (the new MSN Messenger) and in Italy it represents the most popular Instant Messaging client ever.
What to do if you are in an internet point away from home or with a friend and you do not have the possibility to contact friends or work colleagues without installing the Microsoft program?
The solution, in the era of Web 2.0, can only be the use of a client via the Web!
Connect to the MSN Web Messenger site to login and use one of the many ways (including invisible) to have a window with your contacts! You will also have the ability to send and receive files, view images, etc.
If you don’t like that web interface, you can always try MessengerFX, an alternative written in Ajax that is even faster and more immediate.
Note that if you are not using a Microsoft OS, the writing on the site says “Your web browser is not supported by this version of MSN Web Messenger”But it actually works perfectly (tested with Firefox and MacOSX).
