    History
    Paulo Taylor is the inventor of eBuddy. The idea came to life when he made a bet with a friend and said he could get MSN to work on a mobile phone. Working full-time at an internet company, Paulo spent his after hours working on a mobile MSN application. After several weeks, he won the bet and uploaded the application on a server. Visitors then asked if he could make a web version of the application. As user traffic spurred, Paulo decided to take the idea to the next level.

    On September 9, 2003, Taylor together with two partners created EverywhereMSN.com. Microsoft however claimed the domain name and on December 4, 2003 the domain was changed to e-messenger.net. On May 1, 2004, e-Messenger became incorporated. On June 1, 2006, e-Messenger was renamed to eBuddy.
