The MSN moniker has since been extended to Microsoft's Hotmail webmail service and the MSN Messenger instant messaging client, as well as other Microsoft-branded websites.With 9 million subscribers, MSN is the second largest ISP in the United States behind Time Warner's America Online service with 26.5 million.
MSN.com is now the #2 most visited English website on the internet, behind #1 competitor Yahoo's Yahoo.com.
Recently the word "MSN" has come to be synonymous with "MSN Messenger" in internet slang.
