Re: web/online ?

Hi Gloria,

Well, usually its used if the person is using a PC which doesn't allow one to install
Messenger but does have a web browser (or say if they're somewhere where Messenger software
has been blocked but WebMessenger hasn't).

Greetings Gloria,

The "Web/Online" indicator means they're using http://webmessenger.msn.com. If there's an
issue with WebMessenger or some other problem, you won't be able to message them while on
WebMessenger.
