Windows Live Messenger Agents

Description
Windows Live Messenger Agents are an interactive, fun way for people to instant message directly with your brand in Windows Live Messenger. Consumers can add your Agent as a Messenger contact, just like they would a friend or colleague. Then, they interact with the Agent as they would with any other contact: having conversations, asking questions, and engaging in games or productivity tasks.
