Doesn't 'over' work?
The internet, TV, radio, and the phone are all mediums, so use "on".
Right, but that doesn't mean you cannot use 'over' w/ some of them eg.Casiopea said:blacknomi said:What if I hook a microphone on my PC, and I use MSN as a medium so that i can chat with my frined there. I though this could function as a phone.

I guess it's just down to personal taste. I've never heard anyone say over MSN; only on MSN. That was just when referring to chat though.
I've heard these used:
'I'll send you that file through MSN'
'I'll send that picture over MSN'
'I'll talk to you later on MSN'
'Do you ever chat on MSN?'
As you can see, I use MSN a lot.

Hi shane,
What makes you to use "through" with file while "over" with picture? I can see you from your sig, it seems like you have the whole world under your feet. 8)
