pmmsn | | PM link placement (8th Jan 08 at 2:37pm UTC) | | | I think it would be much easier for people to send PMs if the PM link appears in the miniprofile than only at the top right of the profile section. | |

It's on my to-do list to enable the use of contact icons (PM, email, MSN etc.) in the mini-profile. | |

By links do you mean to start a conversation with the person, such as Yahoo/AIM? | |

Either start a conversation with or add to your contacts list. I know typing "gtalk:" into the address bar opens google talk, I just can't work out how to get it to add a contact from there.
Edit. I've found the one for MSN. Just seems to be google that either doesn't allow it or just doesn't publicise it. | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: PM link placement (22nd Jan 08 at 10:12pm UTC) | | Hours of searching and I've finally found it. Who would think it'd be so hard to find. Maybe google should consider adding it to their documentation 
gtalk:chat?jid=user@domain
Anyway, in the next update links for all IMs and to PM will be shown in the users mini profile. They won't have any images by default but they will be setup in such a way to make it relatively easy to do via CSS if users want to. | |

Given Microsofts history, that wouldn't surprise me | |

For FF, I think just an alert box with their MSN address would work fine.  | |
