MessengerFX

Looking for a web messenger of Windows Messenger? Or better yet, one that works with the Wii’s internet browser? Messenger FX, http://www.messengerfx.com/, has you covered. This nifty website allows you to control a lookalike of MSN Messenger, complete with rearrangeable and maximizable windows.

As the above image says, “You can use your MSN® Messenger account for login.  Your passwords encrypted with 1024-bit RSA keys.” I’ve been using this site for quite some time, and can ensure that it does not harvest and steal passwords.

As seen above, you can change your font, font color, do bolds/italics/underlines, add users, change your status, etc. All windows are fully draggable and resizable.

All in all, MessengerFX is pretty much bug-free. One noticeable bug on the wii is that you must wait several seconds after you log on before being able to send messages. This bug doesn’t seem to affect computer users. (that I know of)

Rating - 8/10. Comparable to Meebo’s windows messenger. Better than most other web messengers.

EDIT (Nov. 6, 2010): Been about two years since this post was written, and MessengerFX is now in the beta stages of turning into LiveGO, an online platform that enables you to chat on MSN, AOL, Yahoo, Google Chat, send emails, post to Facebook, post Tweets, and more! Looks quite interesting, head over to http://www.livego.com to check it out.
