I found this tool about 5 years ago and then lost it during a job move. I've been looking for it ever since and finally found it through StumbleUpon today. Most will find it a little annoying and kind of stupid, but it was great when I stuck with...

I have 3 invites left for Windows Live Messenger and so I'll follow the lead from which I receive my invite. First 3 emails in the comments will receive an invite. I'll remove your emails shortly there after so you don't get harvested.
