• vdykcj API Questions

  I've run into a couple of issues in my development. Both are easy enough to work around but I'd prefer clarification if possible. The first issue is with the response.

• Sam Powell BOTS on MSN

  There have been a number of questions about BOTS in the forum in various theads so I thought I would provide this post with a broader update on the topic. MSN has recently started licensing BOTS on the network.  The huge benefit of a licensed BOT is that it will have contact limitations removed (the reverse list), so that millions of people could connect to the same ID.  Our goal is to enable a broad network of these IM applications ...Show All
