Is there a way to possibly have MSN also have a contact "info" window (like
AIM and ICQ) where it would show their display name and then have a "more
info" button like in ICQ take you to the "members.msn.com/username" site?
Here's why:

One of Fire's best features in my opinion is the alias function (e.g. I can
change a friend of mine's display name from something like "I am the god of
messaging!" to their real name or nickname so I know who's who on my buddy
list.

I still want to be able to see what people's display names are though,
because they often put things such as an away message or how they are
feeling in them. Display names sort of function as mini-profiles and away
messages on MSN.

If a a Fire user doesn't put an alias in, then Fire should just put in the
display name, and preferably update it.
