Listed below is a round up of some interesting figures, facts and statistics I found out about Windows Live Messenger by following @WindowsLive on Twitter over the past couple of days. These were posted as part of the program's 10th anniversary. Expect a post tomorrow detailing all what's going on in July 2009 concerning MSN/ Windows Live Messenger's special birthday.

  1. On average, people come back to log-in to Windows Live Messenger 3 times a day, or nearly 1,100 times a year.
  2. The average Messenger chat session is 5 minutes long. What's the longest time you've ever chatted with one person for?
  3. Did you know? Windows Live Messenger has as many active monthly users as the combined population of USA & Canada.
  4. More than 8 billion instant messages are exchanged every day. If you stacked them up as paper, they'd reach to the moon and back.
  5. Did you know ... it's Windows Live Messenger's "aluminum" anniversary month? (Of course, we'd prefer diamonds.)
