How to Find People on MSN
The Microsoft Service Network started out in the mid '90s as an Internet service provider. These days, most of the MSN services have been renamed or rebranded. The very popular instant messaging system MSN Messenger has become officially known as Windows Live Messenger. You can search for people online within the Windows Live system. The Windows Live ID now works for every MSN service such as Messenger and Hotmail. Once you sign up and create an account, you can search for other people using your contacts lists.
