Share your personal Messenger story!
(Republished from the Windows Live Messenger blog)

Wow, who would have thought that it has been almost 10 years since Messenger was launched. Windows Live Messenger (called MSN Messenger back then) was released to the public on a warm, sunny Seattle day on July 22nd, 1999.
With more than 330 million active users every month, Windows Live Messenger has grown quite a bit over the last 10 years! But for a 10-year celebration it’s not all about the numbers – even more important is how Messenger has enabled friendships, changed lives, or just brought a lot of fun to a quick chat with a good friend or family member.
We want to learn about those very personal stories and moments for you, and we’d like to ask you to share your story with us. What was your funniest, most unexpected or most emotional moment with Messenger? If you have a great story and you’d like to share it with others, please send it to us! Please note that we will publish the best anecdotes in our Windows Live Messenger marketing or public relations communications. Of course we will do that anonymously, only mentioning your first name and home country (and maybe a related picture if you decide to add one).
If you want to share your story and let others participate in your special moment with Messenger, please send your short story in English to IloveMessenger@live.com by June 28th. Please add your first name and home country – you can also add a related photo if you like. We will share the best stories during the month of July on the Windows Live Messenger blog.
We’re looking forward to reading your personal Messenger story!
The Windows Live Messenger Team
