How To Sign Up For A Windows Live Messenger Account

Communication through emails is slow and you might have to wait for long in order to receive a reply for your email from the recipient. When compared with emails, chat tools are more efficient. With chat tools, the messages are sent and received instantaneously and there is no lag in communication.  There are many chat tools in the market to choose from, and Windows Live Messenger is one of them. This chat tool has been developed by Microsoft and is part of the package Windows Live Essentials.

If you have an account in Windows Live Messenger, you can add contacts to your account and communicate with any person on your contact list without trouble. You can identify whether a person is online or not in the program and this helps to make the communication better. Even if the other person is offline, you can send offline chats, which the other person would receive whenever he/she comes online. Now, if you do not have a Windows Live account, this post would certainly help you. Here, we will take you through the step-by-step procedure to set up a Windows Live account.

Steps Involved
