An MSN IM hack would certainly interest me!

The best you could do for MSN Messenger is storing & displaying their screen name. MSN Messenger doesn't have any web features at all. (Like send message, add to buddy list, anything like that).

Yes that is the big problem with creating this hack, there is no way to link to the MSN messenger software... not like ICQ and AIM where they give you a way to link.

I contacted MS support about this a while back and they were considering this, but I don't think it was very high on their priority list. Maybe if a few more people requested it they would make an interface available.

Since Messenger 3.0 there are some web aware features.. at least it appears that way since if you go to http://www.msn.com there is a panel for MSN features like your contact list, etc.. Is this a seperate program?

That seems to be a Microsoft server thing.

Microsoft has never made their web integration features available to the public. You can only access them on the Microsoft and MSN related sites.

Furthermore they have never made the object model of the Messenger activeX controls available so that others could script it.

An a lighter note, if you upgrade to Internet Explorer 6.0, it has MSN Messenger built into the Explorer Bars, making a hack irrelevant since Messenger is only available on Windows Machines.
