' btw, if you think about a new name, I like 'yaim' (yet another instant messenger) :p

I also think that dmsn had the problem because it was 'dmsn.whatever' which makes it too easy for people to get to his site with a typo... so maybe having something extra apart from the 'amsn' part is good enough to give us peace.. maybe we have to make the whole thing into a single word, like 'amsnproject.whatever', maybe it's not necessary.. I do like very much the get-amsn.whatever idea, I just hope it won't bring any problems...
