MSN review

[Vurgydugfug]

Hello all!! I am from Montreal, Quebec and was wondering if anybody knows what is going on with Studiotraffic.

I do, they have stopped paying members 3 months ago. The chances that they will start paying back are lesser than 0 right now. Good luck with your future vetures.

And welcome to the forum! :smile:
We're here if you need any help.

I have reviewed both Yahoo and Google and I think that I need to review MSN as well. MSN is a very interesting site because it used to be really famous few years ago and now not many people use it often. It is one of those sites that lost a lot of their users in a short period of time and just like Yahoo it is right for MSN to blame Google.

Before Google came, MSN was looked at as having a great layout and design but that is not the case anymore. Ever since Google emerged with its simplest layout, MSN's layout has lost its reputation and popularity. MSN was looked at before as having enormous information on one single page in front of viewers' eyes. However, now it is just looked at as having too much information and having everything cluttered. Users prefer to stick with Google because it is way faster than MSN and the reason for that is because MSN has too many things that take a lot of time to load.

Despite all these accusations, MSN is actually a great source to a lot of information. Its features like MSN Movies and Music might not be famous as Yahoo Movies or Music but are still one of the best. Some users may actually prefer MSN Movies over Yahoo Movies because it is not very complicated to use and loads faster because of less graphics. MSN also has other features like MSN Maps, Games, TV , Sports etc. However, they are not used a lot!

Furthermore, one of the strongest features of MSN is probably Hotmail. It was the most famous email few years ago and still continues to control a strong share of the market. Hotmail lost its popularity due to the emergence of Yahoo mail and Gmail but users still continue to use it because of MSN Messenger. That brings us to this popular messenger used for chatting. If there is one thing that MSN should really be proud of then it can be its messenger which is used by numerous users all around the world. I am sure that GTalk and Yahoo messenger are still not able to dominate MSN's messenger. However, future cannot be predicted about which messenger will be the most used.

Moreover, MSN is trying hard to come up with new features like Google to increase its popularity. Some of its new features include Windows Live Spaces. This feature is known for creating webpages without any charge. It also has other benefits like writing blogs and sharing pictures.

MSN has also been criticized for several things. First one is (as mentioned before) for having a lot of ads everywhere. There are ads on the homepage, on hotmail and everywhere else. These ads cause a lot of distraction and even frustration to some extent. Secondly, MSN's Hotmail does not have a very good spam filter compared to other email providers like Yahoo Mail and Gmail. This is a very important factor in explaining why so many Hotmail users are moving to other email providers. Additionally, MSN's search engine does not provide users with as good search results as Google's search engine does. Furthermore, the search result page is not very appealing to the eyes either. This might seem like a ridiculous reason but believe it or not but looks actually do matter to users.

Overall, MSN used to be rally famous but now it is facing several problems. It is afraid of having competition and that is why it is trying very hard to take over Yahoo to compete with Google. If MSN really wants to dominate then it needs to realize that users want simplicity and that they do not need to see everything on the homepage!
