As Windaphoner pointed out, MSN Messenger 5.0 is out. But some of the features, including the parental controls and the co-browsing, are only available to subscribers.
Have any subscribers out there checked out these two new features? Any comments?
The parental controls sound cool, in an authoritarian, Orwellian sort of way. I understand that mom and dad can get an email log of the time you spent on Messenger (dates, times, and who-knows-what else). But then, you’re probably not saying anything that would make mom blush, are you?
The part I’m interested in is the co-browsing. This docks your chat window to the side of the screen and lets you and your friend surf together. You see the same screens, and either one of you can take over and point-and-click your way to the next site. That seems like a cool way to share the experience… “hey…check THIS out…” But does it work as well as it sounds?
I tried the co-browsing feature and it came up saying i can’t run it in this country!! i would have thought the UK would have been one of the countries they would be interested in making sure it works here!!
how do you mean…are you asking if i have subscribed to these features ? if thats the question, then no…but…what i did was right clicked a contact and selected the browsing together option, and it opened a page saying it was not available in my country…if it was because you had to be subscriber, i would have thought it would tell me i had to subscribe…am i on the wrong track here ?

Non subscribers need NOT reply.PLEASE, pretty please, read the topics before replying, you can be docked 20% of total post count for making worthless posts.

A good start obviously would be to d’load MSN 5.
done that yet?sorry, i was seeking advice…i dont want to seem like im carrying on an argument…i was stating the fact that i can’t even subscribe in the first place…i wanted to know whether this was the case for any other UK members…
You need MSN 8 to use the browsing feature – And I’m 96% sure the service is only availble to the US n’ Canada.
There are three subscription options available (at least here in the U.S.): You can get broadband Internet access in select areas, dial-up access, or a “software-only” subscription. Previously, MSN Explorer was available as a software-only download for free, but now they charge $9.95/month.
