It used to be a plugin for Messenger Plus! but recently it has become a script for Messenger Plus! Live. Again this is a simple idea which works. Over time a detailed log will build up and give you an idea of your contact's taste in music. A great feature is you can export all the data to a HTML file, and show your friends what they listen to.
The script isn't perfect, it doesn't take into account when media players change the string patterns and therefore some contact's data comes out inaccurate. Despite this, it still is a great script and I suggest giving it a try today.

Today I installed Reminder+, a simple yet very effective script for Messenger Plus! Live. It's easy to use and very customisable. You can set the script to remind you of something every X amount of minutes, keep a log of birthdays and set one off reminders. I find Reminder+ very professional and it matches what I need. I suggest giving it a try.

The script basically changes the icon for Windows Live Messenger and conversations in the taskbar based on multiple variables, such as your contact's status. It does the job perfectly, and I find it a nice small feature for Messenger. Of course you can already do this with StuffPlug 3, but that currently does not work properly with the new 8.5 beta.
I suggest trying Status Icon today, it may be small but I believe it makes a huge difference to using Messenger.

So far things are going good with the coding, the hardest part is getting NanaFreak to stop playing Counter Strike: Source and to help out with the work on this.
Anyway, back on topic.... so we have talked to a few different people on the forum about different things to do with this and we should be fairly well set we think, with one exception.... we need a design for the site. We decided to run a little competition where we select what we feel to be the best and most appropriate. Anyone with designing skills are invited to join in and (if the admins allow for this) post a suggested screen shot of what it would look like (no need to code any CSS, just draw a picture will be fine... and nothing done in paint with just the black pen, OK!).
As for the prize for winning we will allow the person to join in our testing if they wish (or pass the invitation on to someone else of their choosing if they so desire).
We will be giving more details about the testing schedule and features later, we don't see this as being a small project and we want a solid base before releasing this publicly. I hope everyone is excited as us about this whole thing.
PS. The name we have chosen (for the time being at least) is Web2Live, but we weren't sure if that was too close to Web2Messenger.... If you have a better suggestion then go ahead and tell us, it is greatly appreciated.
We at Messenger Stuff wish them the best with development and promise to keep you updated on any progress made.
