Microsoft recently embedded Live Messenger into Hotmail itself which does make life easy, there are however more ways of accessing Live Messenger without the client. These include:
-
Web-based Live Messenger on phones
-
Embedding Live Messenger in your blog/site
- Embed Live Messenger in your Facebook profile

Web-based Messenger for phones:
If you are on a non-WinMo phone that does not have Live Messenger you can access Live Messenger going to the following URL in your browser:
mim.live.com
Nokia users can try the Windows Live suite for Nokia, check if your handset is supported.
