The Huz Experience

Microsoft may be bastards, but they’ve got one thing right in recent years: MSN Messenger.

All right, so the whole “nudge” thing is kind of annoying, and being able to send massive screen-filling animations to your ‘friends’ is just stupid. But one feature I absolutely love – so much so that I wish it existed on IRC somehow – is the ability to bore your so-called e-friends with what music you’re listening to.

What a great social feature. Everyone suspects their friends are listening to the Spice Girls when nobody else is around, now you can find out if it’s true! Great idea Microsoft.
