A new feature called “MSN Minic” has been added to Windows Live Messenger (WLM) 8 Beta.

MSN Mimic is to give you the opportunity to pretend to be someone else for fun while you’re carrying on a conversation with your buddies.

Daniel, a developer of WLM says it will allow you to play pranks on a new level.

To launch MSN Mimic go to Games or Activities menu in the conversation window and select “MSN Mimic”.

That will open an activity window on the right side of the conversation that looks like this:

MSN Mimic

In that window you can select the one of the following “personas”:

Pirate
Pig Latin
Backwards
Izzle
133t
Enlightened One
Outback
Corporate Babble

After you select the persona that fits you most, type the message you want to send in the edit box and click “Translate”. Your message will be translated and copied into the conversation window.

Let’s say I want to invite my buddy for lunch.

I type “Hey let’s get some lunch and a beer
and if I’m in a pirate mood the translated text is: Avast let’s get some lunch and a grog

But if my buddy is a Snoop Dogg fan the text would be: Hey lizzle get sizzle lizzle and a bizzle
Then click “Send” and wait for your buddy’s reaction.
A video conversation is recommended so you can actually see him/her ;)

Try it and post your feedback here

Be noted that MSN Mimic is only available in en-us markets.

btw… every time i get the following error:
We're sorry...an error has occurred. Please click here to return to Mimic.
