MSN Messenger has updated its limit of 150 contacts in the messenger contacts to 300. This is great as now you can keep everyone who you wanted to talk to in your contact list and ping them when you want to... my advice is to use the grouping feature in the MSN Messenger to categorise your friends.. I did a quick search to find out how many contacts in the contact list does Yahoo support and couldn't find it on the Yahoo Messenger page! Anyone has information?
