Messenger+Geeks

 toc =What is Messenger Geeks?= Messenger Geeks, found at [|www.MSNGeeks.com], is a website created around MSN Messenger for the curious user. It is an example of a website whose sole purpose is to bring simplicity to finding out things, somewhat private in nature. Before websites such as this one came into existence, a more complex hacking knoweldgebase would be required to do such things. Features of this special website include:
 * ===Mass Delete Check===This tool requires your MSN login and password. Typing in your login and password automatically signs you out of MSN Messenger if it is in use. It is a tool that lets you know about those people still on your contact list who have removed you from their list.
 * ===Mass Reverse Delete Check===This tool requires your MSN login and password. It lets you know which users no longer on your contact list still have you on their own.
 * ===Contact List Rebuilder===This tool requires your MSN login and password. This tool assists in fixing corrupted contact lists.
 * ===Block Check===This tool checks for users who you may suspect of being online, but have you blocked. This tool requires the exact email address of the suspected blocker. The suspected blocker must be online at that time. The blocker's MSN nick is shown if their status is set as Online. This tool is not always accurate.
 * ===Anonymous Messenger===This tool allows you to send anonymous messages. The problem with this feature is that you are not able to get a response.
 * ===Profile Viewer, etc.===This tool allows you to look up a user's profile by typing in their E-mail address. There are additional features found at this website aswell.

Note: some of these tools may require that you not be currently signed into your MSN Messenger account. Also Note: this site is free, and is, therefore, packed with many ferocious pop-up advertisements.

Messenger Geeks says a lot about our culture. MSN Messenger is an advantageous social tool. But, users found themselves needing to know how others were using features, provided by MSN Messenger, against them. Or, users just wanted to know where they stood within specific social contexts. Messenger Geeks is an example of how privacy on the Internet does not truly exist.
