I used to play hearts, spades, euchre, and other card games at MSN Zone or MSN gamezone (whatever it was called) a long time ago. I got to know a few folks (by screen name only), and would partner up with them on card games...and checkers, backgammon, etc. You could add them to your "friend list" and you’d know when they were online and vice versa. Was fun...wasted a lot of work time that’s for sure. 🙂
